Man’s ruin and God’s remedy
“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.”
Numbers 21:8
that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it,
shall live.”
Numbers 21:8
Suggested Further Reading:
Luke 23:1-5
Luke 23:1-5
Christ’s redemption was so plenteous, that had God willed it,
if all the stars of heaven had been peopled with sinners,
Christ need not have suffered another pang to redeem them
all—there was a boundless value in his precious blood.

And, sinner, if there were so much as this, surely there is enough for thee. And then again, if thou art not satisfied with Christ’s sin-offering, just think a moment;
God is satisfied, God the Father is content, and must not thou be? The Judge saith, “I am satisfied; let the sinner go free,
for I have punished the Surety in his stead;”
and if the Judge is satisfied, surely the criminal may be.
Oh! Come, poor sinner, come and see;
if there is enough to appease the wrath of God there
must be enough to answer all the requirements of man.
“Nay, nay,” saith one,
“but my sin is such a terrible one that I cannot see in the
substitution of Christ that which is like to meet it.”
What is thy sin? “Blasphemy.”
Why, Christ died for blasphemy:
this was the very charge which man imputed to him,
and therefore you may be quite sure that God laid it on
him if men did.
“Nay, nay,” saith one, “but I have been worse than that;
I have been a liar.” It is just what men said of him.
They declared that he lied when he said,
“If this temple be destroyed I will build it in three days.”
See in Christ a liar’s Saviour as well as a blasphemer’s Saviour.
“But,” says one,
“I have been in league with Beelzebub.”
Just what they said of Christ.
They said that he cast out devils through Beelzebub.
So man laid that sin on him, and man did unwittingly
what God would have him do.
I tell thee, even that sin was laid on Christ.

For meditation:
Christ was truly a sign spoken against
(Luke 2:34).
Men called him many names which God
had never
given him—Beelzebub (Matthew 10:25),
glutton and drunkard (Matthew 11:19),
impostor (Matthew 27:63),
liar (John 8:13),
sinner (John 9:24),
demon-possessed
and mad (John 10:20),
and blasphemer (John 10:33).
On the cross God treated his Son as if he was everything that man had accused him of, and every other sin besides.
