As we unravel the Israelites' plight in the wilderness, we confront the misconception that suffering alone can rectify sin. While consequences may deter actions, they fail to address the heart of the issue—the discontent that breeds sin.

Therapy, though valuable in addressing actions, falls short in transforming the underlying motivations that drive sin. Sin, ingrained in our nature, requires a deeper solution.

Enter God's divine intervention—a bronze snake lifted high, prefiguring Jesus Christ. Salvation is not achieved through human efforts or suffering but through faith in God's promise of forgiveness and redemption.

In understanding sin's solution, we unearth the essence of worship—a life of love and devotion to God and our neighbors, born from the faith that springs from His promises.

Join us as we journey through the nuances of necessity and the distinction between what is good and what is essential. Through the lens of scripture, we'll uncover the timeless wisdom that challenges us to embrace humility and faith in our daily lives.

So, grab your Bible and open your hearts as we embark on this spiritual exploration together. Join us in Numbers 21 verses 4-9 as we discuss the savior that we have.

This Sunday sermon, based on Numbers 21 verses 4-9, was preached at Grace of God Lutheran Church on March 10, 2024. This sermon is preached by pastor Timothy J. Walsh, a member of WELS (Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod). Scripture selections come from the New International Version.
