Numbers 21:6-9 Snake 🐍 Bitten

 6So the LORD sent venomous snakes among the people, and many of the Israelites were bitten and died.

7Then the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned by speaking against the LORD and against you. Intercede with the LORD so He will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses interceded for the people.

8Then the LORD said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent and mount it on a pole. When anyone who is bitten looks at it, he will live.” 9So Moses made a bronze snake and mounted it on a pole. If anyone who was bitten looked at the bronze snake, he would live.

Snake 🐍 Bitten 

Some wonder if these snakes 🐍 were blood 🩸 red in color because they were the result of sin. And if these snakes came from God could they be anything but holy? 

The Lord was weeding out the sinful amongst the Israelites but some repented and went to Moses. 

But notice this verse and read carefully, “If anyone who was bitten looked at the bronze snake, he would live.”

The Lord didn’t remove the holy snakes 🐍 He had Moses deliver them with a bronze snake. Some still got bit and had to look upon the bronze redeemer on the pole.

We are no different, our hearts ♥️ are evil and we sin! 

We will live when we look at the redeemer on the cross and accept His blood 🩸 sacrifice for our sinful life!

Have you accepted Jesus yet? 

If not, what are you waiting for?

Don’t you realize you’ve been bitten by the evil snake 🐍 from Genesis 3?
