​Day 72 – March 13, 2021
Scriptures: Psalm 135, Numbers 21, John 3
 
“Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him”
 
It doesn’t take too much effort today to see the connection, John does it for us! 
 
And Psalm 135, well that hits part of our reading as well. 
 
“He struck down many nations and killed mighty kings. Sihon king of the Amorites, OG King of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan, and he gave their land as an inheritance (Psalm 135:10-12).
 
We are wise to heed the point of the verses, more so than marvel at their connections. These connections point to the power of God, His all-surpassing power to deliver the Israelites, heal them, and lead them to the Promised Land.
 
When we look to Jesus, we look to him, hanging on the cross, and trust and believe that he will forgive us and give us eternal life. We look to Christ for our healing. The cross is the display of God’s all-surpassing power to defeat the greatest of enemies, greater than Sihon and Og, God deliver us from sin and death.
 
Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world.
