Alas, on the wooden cross where Jesus is crucified, the bronze - TopicsExpress



          

Alas, on the wooden cross where Jesus is crucified, the bronze serpent has reached its concrete fulfillment. You see, just as the bronze serpent was lifted up on a standard bearing Israel’s judgment, Jesus too is hoisted up on a Roman crucifix bearing the world’s judgment. And just as the Israelites who looked upon the accused creature were healed, now anyone who looks and believes on this accursed Creature will receive eternal—age abiding—life. Jesus on the cross is what, or better “who,” the bronze serpent always pointed to; the very moment in history when God himself would take upon himself our own deserved curse.
