Jesus in the Old Testament: Numbers

Numbers, often referred to as the Book of Faithfulness, contrasts the faithfulness of God with the recurring unfaithfulness of the Israelites. Pastor Nathan teaches on God's unwavering commitment to His covenant, His role as a warrior king, the call to holiness and obedience, and the cycle of rebellion and intercession. The narrative of the bronze serpent in Numbers 21, where faith leads to healing, foreshadows the crucifixion of Jesus and the salvation it brings. As we reflect on these scriptures, we are encouraged to trust in God's promises and live in obedience to His word.
