Read John 3:14-21
14 As Moses lifted up the bronze
snake on a pole in the desert, in the same way the Son of Man must be
lifted up, 15so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal
life. 16For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life. 17For
God did not send his Son into the world to be its judge, but to be its saviour.
18 Those who believe in the Son are not
judged; but those who do not believe have already been judged, because they
have not believed in God’s only Son. 19This is how the judgement
works: the light has come into the world, but people love the darkness rather
than the light, because their deeds are evil. 20All those who do
evil things hate the light and will not come to the light, because they do not
want their evil deeds to be shown up. 21But those who do what is
true come to the light in order that the light may show that what they did was
in obedience to God.
Think
Jesus compares his crucifixion to Moses' lifting the bronze
snake up in the desert. In the desert
those dying as a result of their sin look at the snake and are saved. Jesus is reminding us of the simplicity of
looking at him and believing in his love revealed on the cross.
Pray
As I look at you - help me to understand that I am
loved. And let your light transform my heart.
