John 3:14-15
“And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert [on a pole], so must [so it is necessary that] the Son of Man be lifted up [on the cross],
15 In order that everyone who believes in Him [who cleaves to Him, trusts Him, and relies on Him] may not perish, but have eternal life and [actually] live forever!” (Amp.Bible)
When Israelites were wandering in the wilderness, God sent a plague of serpents to punish the people for their rebellious attitudes.
Those doomed to die from snakebite could be healed by accepting to look up at the elevated bronze Serpent. They were also to believe that God would heal them if they did look. Two very important aspects:- looking and believing.
The year 2020 Easter comes at a period when our country and the entire world is under attack of a very serious pandemic. Everything has been affected in one way or another. The big question is, what do we do in a such a scenario?
Our healing and deliverance will happen when we Look up to Jesus. That is where our help comes from. As it was in the days of old, God has provided a way out ; Look up, believe and live!
