Question

What did the brass serpent on the pole in the wilderness foreshadow?

Answer

Jesus said, “I can, if you believe.” Now, in order to believe God, most people have to have something to look at, some visible, something to look at to represent God. I believe one of the hardest things that God has ever had to do, was to get one mortal to believe another mortal. We won’t believe on...

Question

When were we healed by Jesus Christ's stripes?

Question

What does the brass serpent in the wilderness have to do with healing through Jesus Christ?

Answer

Let’s read a little farther. Don’t bow down to them. Don’t serve them. Destroy their images. You shall serve the Lord your God.

Question

Why did Moses lift up the brass serpent?

Answer

But the serpent was raised up for a compound reason, that they might be forgiven and healed. So help us tonight, Lord.

Question

Would it make any difference to the sick if Christ were here in person?

Now, if He was here He might tell you what was wrong with you, tell you your conditions, what to do, but He couldn’t heal you.

Was Isaiah 53's 'with His stripes we are healed' fulfilled in Matthew 8?

Answer

And then, the Bible said that He’s the same. When He came on the earth, they said He came and fulfilled that in Matthew 8, many people say.
