11.26.23 - The Bronze Serpent

South Lansing Christian Church

We all have moments of instant regret in our lives. Some of those instant regret moments only last for a moment like the mouth full of cocoa powder. Sometimes they last a little longer and have a lasting effect. For the Israelites, it happened a lot—and their mistakes lead to years of wandering and snakebites! Yet, God, in the bronze serpent story, made a way for them to overcome their mistakes, they simply had to acknowledge their faults. Same way with the cross of Christ. He made a way, we have to acknowledge our need for his grace to receive it.
