Glory of the Cross: Lifted Up | From the Bronze Serpent to the Cross

About this sermon

Jesus says Moses wrote of Him—and in today’s message we see exactly how. From the strange moment in Numbers 21 (the bronze serpent) to Christ “lifted up” on Calvary, we learn why obedience conquers disobedience, grace heals sin, and life triumphs over death. When we gaze upon the Cross, we see both our need and God’s limitless love. Key Scriptures: • Numbers 21:4–9 — The bronze serpent lifted up • John 3:14–16 — “So must the Son of Man be lifted up…” • Hebrews 9–10 — Christ’s perfect sacrifice; Priest and Offering • Genesis 1:26; Romans 5 — Image of God, original sin (context) Key takeaways: • The bronze serpent prefigures the Cross; looking in faith brings healing. • The Cross reveals both the horror of sin and the glory of God’s mercy. • Jesus’ sacrifice is voluntary, perfect, and priestly—offered “lifted up.” • Obedience in Christ overcomes humanity’s disobedience. • “Look and live”: humble faith receives God’s love.
