Congratulations! May God empower you to influence ur generation for Christ , amen! For those who are yet to surrender their lives to Christ Jesus, my Easter message to you is look and live!!!
LOOK AND LIVE!
No one can cross the major road with his/her eyes closed. It will be very disastrous if that happens. Life is well guided with the ability to sight well and in taking precautions to avert dangers ahead. Even the blind man cannot cross the road without a lead. The world is like a road we cross over. We cannot be saved without the lead of God through our savoir Jesus Christ who knows the way.
Lack of trust and unbelief in God in the part of man has brought many low. And many destinies have not been fulfilled as a result of unbelief. Num21:5 says “...the people spoke against God, and against Moses, wherefore have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, neither is there any water: and our soul loathed this light bread” The Israelites suffered snake bite and many died as a result of murmuring and failure to obey God’s command. God is merciful to save those who call on him. Moses carved a brass serpent and placed it on a carved tree and instructed the people who were bitten by the serpent to look on the cross and live. That was according to God’s command. Those who obeyed were healed instantly and they live (Num.21:5-9).
SYMBOLISM OF THE CARVED SERPENT AND THE TREE:
The carved brass serpent symbolize Christ Jesus, while the tree symbolize the cross where Christ poured our sins! Jesus Christ nailed our sins on the cross of cavalry, he died and rose victoriously! Our only remedy is to look unto him and live (follow his footsteps). Believing and trusting Jesus will make us heirs of God together with Christ.
God used the brass serpent to heal Israel in the old testament and Jesus is our new testament healer and savior. John 3:14 says “… as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the son of man be lifted up, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
*Have you being wounded by sin etc.?
*Are you tired about life?
*Is poverty limiting you?
*Do you want to experience a new life?
Isaiah 1:18 –19 “Come now and let us reason together, saith the lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow: though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If you be willing and obedient, you shall eat the fruits of the land…”
Christ is risen! Look unto him and live! Looking unto Jesus , the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrew12:2).
Come to Jesus and be saved!
LOOK & LIVE!!!
Congratulation if you have left ur sins and surrendered to Jesus Christ.
(John3:3 &14, Luke24:49. Rev20:12—15).
