Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil.
Even though Jesus never sinned, yet he was exposed to the malice and temptations of the serpent and by resisting unto blood the incursions made against His own soul, He has gained the victory even over death and because of this, He is now able, and authorized to give to as many as believe, the merits of His own sacrifice and victories.
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh. 4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Hence the reason why the Hebrews who had been bitten by the serpents were instructed to look and live. They were not to try to fix anything before they looked. And we are not to try to fix anything before coming to Christ, for no one in their right mind will try to do the Doctor’s work.
1st Timothy 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
