What are you looking at? What are you seeing? We must see Jesus. And the only way we see Jesus, see the Word. This is the natural Symbol of the Spirit. You know what I mean? It is the Letter that the Spirit quickens. See? That is the Letter, that, and the Spirit quickens this Letter and makes It a reality.
Moses looked by faith. And the man today who sees God's program, does the same thing, looks by faith.
Moses, later, seen this great thing. When the people got in trouble, what did he do? He made a serpent out of brass, put it upon a pole. And said, when they were bitten by serpents, because of their unbelief, that, "Whosoever looked upon this serpent lived."
Now, the stick, the pole it was on, was a piece of a tree that was cut down there in the wilderness, probably a piece of mesquite, or something that you'd have here, ironwood, or whatever it might be. It had done been separated from its natural growth. It was dead, within itself. The brass was probably a piece of helmets from the Romans, or something that they had took in the salvage. It was molded and put together, and made a serpent.
If men come out there, just as an idol, to look upon that serpent, they received nothing.
But when the true believer come out there and looked upon that serpent, with the spiritual revealed Truth… That serpent itself, being it was in the form of a serpent, it represented sin already judged. They seen sin, their unbelief, already under judgment, from the serpent from the garden of Eden. And the serpent was made out of brass, which means Divine judgment.
Just know one thing. Focus everything else out of the way, and look unto Christ. If you don't know how to write your name, that don't have one thing to do with it. Just focus your heart to Christ and His will, and watch what happens. Yes. Certainly.
Now, many come there and seen, said, "There's a great serpent. People goes out there and gets healed, by looking at the serpent. Maybe we had better take the family and go over."
You hear such things today. "There's a great healer coming to town. And he, there, we'll all go over and get healed." Now, when you think that way, you've certainly got your camera out of focus. Yes, sir.
Focus it down to Jesus, and Him only. Look to Him, and you'll see what God's purpose is.
