Highlight: 

And as Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, John 3:14 NLT

Jesus on the cross is a solution that crossed from human research to human ultimate solution. No one has ever gone to heaven and returned. But the Son of Man has come down from heaven. If you want to have a heaven experience and allow heaven to influence your life on earth, you must believe the hanging of Jesus on the cross. 

When a venomous Snake bite the children of Isreal they died. There was no instant solution like antivenom. Even if there is an antivenom, the snake bites are likely to reoccur.and antivenom will just be a child's play in such situation because you don't know how many times a snake would bite you in a single day. It became a serious problem and facing of death was guaranteed. They have no option that to run to God. They seek Moses intervention, and Moses seek God, and God told Moses to create a brazen image of a snake and lift it up so that whoever is bitten by a snake and immediately look up to a the brazen snake will be healed instantly. God uses that situation to teach us all round solution to teach us faith. That God blessed the brazen image to cause healing just by sighting it. God has blessed the image of Jesus Christ being hung on the cross. We must believe in our heart the image of Jesus on the cross and keep it intact inside our heart to look at it anytime problem is looming just like the snake bite. Brethen, this is our weapon. Just look at the cross in your heart and live. 

We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.

 As you endure this divine discipline, remember that God is treating you as his own children. Who ever heard of a child who is never disciplined by its father?

 “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

Prayer: Father of Love, Mother of Faith, Help me with grace to look and see Jesus hung on the cross and we live forever. Thank you for the gift of Jesus on the cross. This is my weapon. In Jesus name. HALLELUYAH. Amen.
