The son of man
"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:14, 15 NKJV). There is a way out from sin, guilt, addiction, and lust. It is only through Jesus Christ, who hung on the cross 2,000 years ago. Whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. God is the God of Life, and He is the Life Giver. Everyone who has life was given life by Him. It is He who has made the way to eternal life in heaven. It is sin that has separated man from God, and sin in a man will keep that man away from the Holy God for eternity. Repentance is needed before reconciliation. Look to Christ and the cross. Allow Him to save, revise, and bring that soul back to life. The children of Israel were being bitten by fiery serpents because of sin. They spoke against the Lord and Moses. Many watched one another die. They pleaded to Moses and asked him to intercede for them before God, so that they might be saved. God spoke to Moses and had him make a serpent of brass and put it on a pole, so that whosoever looked upon it would live. This pole represents the cross, and the serpent represents sin and where it came from. Thousands of years later Jesus hung at Calvary with all the world's sins upon Him. Look to Jesus with faith, and allow Him to wash away your sins. Repent! God bless you. Amen
