“(J)ust as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up . . .” John 3:14
Moses lifted up the serpent
so Israel could look at what was destroying them,
stare it down in faith,
and be saved.
The Son of Man . . . the Son of God . . . was lifted up . . .
Do we look upon God?
Is God destroying us?
We look at God given over to death . . .
The Son is lifted up, one with death,
so we can look at death, at what destroys us,
stare it down in faith,
and save all creation . . .
