Hope Worship – March 10, 2024

John 3:14-21 provides us with the last portion of Jesus’ interaction with Nicodemus, in which He draws our attention back to the event of God’s people dying in the wilderness and needing His saving intervention. Jesus compares Himself to the bronze serpent: He is the one lifted up in the midst of a dying world, so that all who would believe in Him would not perish but have eternal life. And so we are called to submit to God’s diagnosis of us (that we are sick, dying, needing help), so that we might be prepared to receive His cure through His Son. Today’s message is “Diagnosis Meets the Cure.”
