Lesson 18 There’s Life in Just One Look at Jesus
Question 1
Hello and welcome back! I have prayed for you today. I don’t know you by name but I pray for each student going through this course, and I wanted you to know you are prayed for.
Today we will see a powerful story that illustrates a simple truth: there is life (abundant life and eternal life) for just one look at Jesus. Let’s read the story together and then discuss it:
Numbers 21:4-9 NIV They traveled from Mount Hor along the route to the Red Sea, to go around Edom. But the people grew impatient on the way; (5) they spoke against God and against Moses, and said, "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? There is no bread! There is no water! And we detest this miserable food!" (6) Then the LORD sent venomous snakes among them; they bit the people and many Israelites died. (7) The people came to Moses and said, "We sinned when we spoke against the LORD and against you. Pray that the LORD will take the snakes away from us." So Moses prayed for the people. (8) The LORD said to Moses, "Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live." (9) So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived.
