Today’s exhortation – it is finished!
There was a time in the wilderness when the people of Israel were bitten and killed by fiery serpents so they cried out to Moses to pray for them. The LORD said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live.” (Numbers 21:8). In biblical language, the wilderness represents the world, serpents represent evil spirits and people of Israel represent children of God. Today, many of God’s children are being attacked by evil spirits with fear, shame, sickness, depression, anxiety, debt, poverty, barrenness, bullying, violence etc
And the answer to all these problems is The Lord Jesus. He said, “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:14-16). And when He was lifted up on the cross, He said “IT IS FINISHED!” In other words, Satan, no more! take your hands off My kids! Now, all we’ve to do is look at Jesus in faith and believe and we’ll be saved. Hallelujah! Have a blessed week.
