Beyond John 3:16: The Serpent In Redemption

  • Paule
  • July 4, 2024
John 3:16 often feels like a cliché, plastered on billboards and game signs, stripped of its profound meaning. But let's shift our focus to the verses just before it, where Jesus draws a parallel between Himself and the serpent Moses lifted in the wilderness. This imagery is not just historical or theological; it’s deeply personal. We, like the Israelites, grumble and turn against each other, becoming snakes in our impatience and selfishness. The serpent on the pole wasn’t just a divine solution; it was a mirror, forcing them to confront their sin and shame. Similarly, when we look at Jesus lifted on the cross, we’re invited to face our darkest selves, recognize our capacity for both harm and good, and embrace the transformative power of love and redemption.
