Don't Cover Your Eyes
You and I are hard-wired to cover our eyes and turn away whenever we see something that terrifies us. So, why would God command Moses to erect a bronze snake on a pole as their means of rescue from the venomous snakes that were killing them? Why would He command the Israelites to look at the very thing that frightened them the most? And why would God direct our attention to the terrifying death of our Savior on the cross? God lovingly pull the hands with which we would cover our eyes to witness His love, mercy and rescue.
