1 | How do we lift up Christ for healing? | Ex 20:4 | Makarios | 11489 | ||
Dear Ed, I agree and you have provided an excellent answer! The New American Bible is a translation that is widely used by Catholics and their commentary may differ slightly as to the meaning of this verse. Here is some support for what you have already presented.. "3:14 so must the Son of Man be lifted up. Cf 8:28; 12:32,34; 18:31,32. This is a veiled prediction of Jesus' death on the cross. Jesus referred to the story of Num. 21:5-9 where the Israelite people who looked at the serpent lifted up by Moses were healed. The point of this illustration or analogy is in the "lifted up." Just as Moses lifted up the snake on the pole so that all who looked upon it might live physically, those who look to Christ, who was "lifted up" on the cross for the sins of the world, will live spiritually and eternally." (The MacArthur Study Bible) John 12:32 "lifted up. The cross was the supreme exaltation of Jesus." (Zondervan NASB Study Bible) "Like the serpent placed on a pole by Moses to free Israel from the deadly consequences of their disobedience in the wilderness (Num 21:4-9), Jesus will be lifted up on the cross for the deliverance from death of all who look to him in faith." (Cambridge Annotated Study Bible with Apocrypha) "Every time the words lifted up occur in the Gospel of John there is a reference to Jesus’ death (8:28; 12:32, 34). When Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness (see Num. 21:9), those who looked at it lived. So it is with the Son of Man (1:51)." (Nelson NKJV Study Bible) "Jesus Christ came to save us by healing us, as the children of Israel, stung with fiery serpents, were cured and lived by looking up to the brazen serpent, Numbers 21:6-9. In this observe the deadly and destructive nature of sin. Ask awakened consciences, ask damned sinners, they will tell you, that how charming soever the allurements of sin may be, at the last it bites like a serpent. See the powerful remedy against this fatal malady. Christ is plainly set forth to us in the gospel. He whom we offended is our Peace, and the way of applying for a cure is by believing. If any so far slight either their disease by sin, or the method of cure by Christ, as not to receive Christ upon his own terms, their ruin is upon their own heads. He has said, Look and be saved, look and live; lift up the eyes of your faith to Christ crucified. And until we have grace to do this, we shall not be cured, but still are wounded with the stings of Satan, and in a dying state. Jesus Christ came to save us by pardoning us, that we might not die by the sentence of the law. Here is gospel, good news indeed. Here is God’s love in giving his Son for the world. God so loved the world; so really, so richly. Behold and wonder, that the great God should love such a worthless world! Here, also, is the great gospel duty, to believe in Jesus Christ. God having given him to be our Prophet, Priest, and King, we must give up ourselves to be ruled, and taught, and saved by him. And here is the great gospel benefit, that whoever believes in Christ, shall not perish, but shall have everlasting life. God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, and so saving it. It could not be saved, but through him; there is no salvation in any other. From all this is shown the happiness of true believers; he that believeth in Christ is not condemned. Though he has been a great sinner, yet he is not dealt with according to what his sins deserve." (Matthew Henry Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible) |

Let's all remember that healing was guarenteed while Christ was here phisically with his people, ISA 53:4-5, Healing was provided for at the cross but not guarenteed, as in Matt8:17 it was fulfilled, That is the scripture and his phisical life , when we go to be with him and he makes another heavens and earth then and only then shall we be fully healed. Until then we will all die of our last illness. your brother in CHRIST.RC.Scroll Faith doesn't heal you, only God can when he choose's.It's not his will to do this allways, however we as Christians have allready been healed,the spirit of God is in us and will raise us as he did himself at the cross. Don't try changing God he's perfect, we need to "change" | ||||||

RC.Scroll, Jesus didn't heal everyone. He only healed one of many at the pool of Bethesda (Jhn 5:1-9). There is no healing provided for at the cross, unless you know a Scripture reference. Steve |

Read the context ... Does He heal theor blindness and deafness - so they can see and hear - so they can understand? Is this about seeing and hearing the Gospel, which is before being saved? yes yes Steve PS You do not need to use capital letters. |
