The Bronze Serpent | Why The Bronze Serpent Healed Thousands

Why did God tell Moses to lift up a bronze serpent in the wilderness—and why did Jesus compare it to His own crucifixion? In this video, we examine the strange but powerful account of the bronze serpent in Numbers 21. Israel’s rebellion brought judgment, but repentance opened the way for mercy. God provided one remedy: look at the serpent He commanded Moses to lift up, believe His promise, and live. This story ultimately points us toward Jesus Christ. Just as the Israelites looked upon the bronze serpent and were healed, those who look to Christ in faith receive eternal life. The cross reveals that God alone has authority over sin, judgment, and death.
