The Bronze Snake & The Jesus Vaccine - Leonard Sweet, Premiered 14 March 2021, LenTalk #52

About this sermon

Spread the Jesus Vaccine. One of the strangest passages of Scripture (John 3:15-”Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up”) is the preface for one of the most beloved and memorized passages of Scripture (John 3:16–”For God so loved the world”). Jesus is the the Gospel Vaccine, Jehovah Rapha: The Lord our Healer, The Lord our Physician. The staff with the bronze snake entwined around it is a medical symbol of healing. The thing that kills us is the very thing that saves us when you face and outface it. The problem is the solution. The cross that kills and crucifies is the cross that saves and heals. The "crushing of the serpent's head" (Gen.3:15) took place at "Calvary" or "Golgotha" which means "the place of the skull." The curse of sin is broken as the serpent's skull is crushed by the stake of the cross,. Mary, whom some call the New Eve (whom Jesus calls "woman" as God first called the Adam's ezer "wo-man") is present (cf Jn19:25-27). A few years ago Jorge Finlay first connected for me of Genesis 3:15 and John 3:15, and I've been thinking about it ever since. We would love for you to hit the "subscribe" button for these vlogs.
