Commentary on John 3:14
Jesus connects His coming crucifixion to Numbers 21:4-9 where a bronze serpent on a pole brought healing to snake-bitten Israelites who looked in faith. The typology is precise: the serpent (symbol of sin) was lifted up, as Christ became sin for us (2 Corinthians 5:21). Looking to Christ crucified brings spiritual healing. The word 'must' indicates divine necessity—the cross was no accident but God's sovereign plan.
