The Bronze Serpent

The Israelites are complaining again. All of the first generation that came out of Egypt, except Joshua and Caleb, have died in the wilderness, and now their children are traveling into the land God promised them. When they rebel, God sends fiery serpents among them, and many of the people are dying. The people of Israel, recognizing their sin, call out to Moses to plead with God to take the serpents away. God does not take the serpents away immediately; rather, He provides salvation in the midst of the suffering.

The curtain of Deuteronomy 34 opens as we, along with Israel, watch Moses walk the 10-mile journey to the mountain from which God will allow him to see the Promised Land and die. We silently witness one of the most remarkable event in all of Scripture: the death of Moses and his burial by God Himself. There was never anyone like Moses either before or after. It makes us wonder - if Moses isn’t getting into the Land on his own mertis, how will we?

In Deuteronomy 15, we read the instructions for the Sabbatical year of God's people. This Sabbatical year was a time for people to reflect on God's grace and to respond to others in a gracious manner. It is a reminder for us that as Christians, we should be some of the most gracious and generous individuals around, for we have a God who has been abundantly gracious with us.
