When the Israelites were bitten by serpents, God told them to look and live. Jesus said the serpent lifted up in the wilderness pointed to Him. “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus must the Son of man be lifted up.” — John 3:14 What are you looking at today or Who are you look at today? —your problems, your failures, your fears, or your circumstances? Look to Jesus. He is the Saviour, He is our hope and He is the One who gives life.

7 And the people came to Moses and said, We have sinned, in that we have spoken against Jehovah, and against thee: pray to Jehovah that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
8 And Jehovah said to Moses, Make thee a fiery [serpent], and set it upon a pole; and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, and looketh upon it, shall live.9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole; and it came to pass, if a serpent had bitten any man, and he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.”
John 3:14-16 “14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus must the Son of man be lifted up,15 that every one who believes on him may [not perish, but] have life eternal.16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whosoever believes on him may not perish, but have life eternal.”
