TGKIDS RECAP
Bible Story: God Heals Israel with a Bronze Snake
Scripture: Numbers 21:4–9
Bible Truth: God saves his people individually.
Where is Jesus: John 3:14–15
The Old Testament is filled with stories that point to Jesus. Here we see sinners healed of the snakebites sent to them as judgment when they look to the upraised snake. It was God who told Moses to put the bronze snake up on a pole.
The snake on the pole pointed forward to Jesus who would one day be lifted up. Because of this, God healed the people and did not count their sins against them. Isn’t it interesting that this Old Testament story precedes the most quoted verse of the entire New Testament? When we read of the bronze snake being lifted up we should think of Christ.
