A Snake... for a Moment

When Moses was instructed to throw down his staff before Pharaoh, it became a snake for a moment. The magicians also threw down their staves, which also became snakes.



This is a picture of Jesus, One 'thrown down' by God onto the earth to become a snake (sin) - but only for a moment! The snake of Moses quickly consumed the snakes of the magicians. This should remind us that there is no sin that is superior in weight or scope to the sin the Jesus became for us on the cross.

2Co 5:21 MKJV
(21) For He has made Him who knew no sin, to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

I must point out... small snakes are deadly. If we believe that our sin is unforgivable to the point where we do not seek forgiveness through the sacrifice of Jesus, well, there is no cure for this bite. Your sin is covered... as assuredly as Moses' snake consumed the others. Accept the gift.
