Subject: Look to Jesus not problems, be healed! |
Bible Note: "As we lift up Jesus Christ from the earth, people look at him and are healed." Looking to the completed atonement by Jesus Christ on the cross? Hi Tim, I view this Old Covenant shadow as the prophesy of the crucifiction, healing provided through the atonement of Jesus Christ. As we recognize that healing has been provided through the atonement and place our faith in this fact, we are healed. The snake represented the curse nailed to the cross. Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
