SNAKE POLE

There are many traffic accidents that result in death. Apparently, this often happens because the drivers do not see the traffic sign poles that warn of a danger when passing through the road. If the driver sees the traffic sign pole, then the accident will not happen and many people will remain alive.

The Israelites left Mount Hor, circled Edom towards the Sea of Teberau. However, on the way, they rebelled against God and Moses. They were tired of the manna that the Lord provided and regretted leaving Egypt to follow His guidance. Therefore, God sent venomous snakes to punish them so that they came to Moses, confessed their sins to God, and asked for the snakes to be removed. Then the Lord asked Moses to make a bronze snake and place it on a pole, so that whoever was bitten by the snake and saw the bronze snake would remain alive. Doesn't this remind us of Christ who was lifted up on the cross so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life?

Around us, there are many people who are living in sin and heading towards destruction. They need help to understand the path to eternal life. Let us, as children of God, be willing to show Christ who died on the cross so that they may see Christ. And by His grace, they come to believe, receive salvation, and eternal life. --ANT/www.renunganharian.net
