In their final year of wandering in the wilderness, having been denied passage through Edom, the national of Israel had to take the long way around the country. When they complained against God and Moses, God sent snakes, and many of the people were killed. But when the nation confessed their sin, God told Moses to make a bronze snake and put it on a pole so that anyone who looked at the snake could live. In today's message, Pastor John explores how this event in Israel's history foreshadowed the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Reference to the same bronze snake in 2 Kings 18 also gives us a chance to see how a good thing can be held on to for the wrong reasons, and become a bad thing.

Scripture References: Numbers 20:14-21, Numbers 21:4-13
