III. Watching for the Way of Escape (verses 11-13).
Rev. Kiewiet (a missionary to Australia) used the account of Isreal's wilderness wanderings in Numbers 20:22-21:9 as a backdrop for this text in I Corinthians, and tied it together very nicely. |
Excellent job, especially without the notes.
Num 21:8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
What an wonderful picture of salvation. Was it Spurgeon who preached the sermon "Look and Live"? I'll bet a lot of folks back then thought the same way about the serpents that people think today about salvation - "No, that's too easy! Just look at the serpent? There must be more I've gotta do..."
