Numbers 21:1-35
In
verses 5-9, there is an illustration of God's salvation (John 3:14-15).
There is sin and death (Romans 5-6; 3:23, 6:23). Christ prays for our
forgiveness (7; Luke 23:34). Lifted up on the Cross, He dies that we
might have eternal life. In love, He appeals to us, 'Look to me and be
saved' (John 12:32; Isaiah 45:22). Enter, Destroy Possess (21-24,
33-35): Let Christ enter your heart, destroying Satan's strongholds and
taking possession of your life (2 Corinthians 10: 3-5). If we are to be
victorious to the 'praise and glory and honour...of Jesus Christ' (1
Peter 1:6-8), we must 'go by the King's Highway, not turning aside to
the right hand or the left'(22; 20:17). For the Christian, 'the King's
Highway is 'the Way of Holiness': 'This is the way, walk in it' (Isaiah
35:8; 30:21).
