And just as Moses lifted up
the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that
everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. (John
14:6)
Let
us raise our eyes and keep them fixed on Jesus, the author of our
redemption. What is more precious than a person’s life? The
life of the body is the soul, and the life of the soul is Christ.
Your very life hangs from the Cross. Your life hangs before you on
the Cross so that you might see yourself as in a mirror, examining
and scrutinizing yourself in it. You can see how serious were your
wounds that they could not be healed by any other medicine except
by the blood of the Son of God. If you pause to reflect profoundly,
you will realize how sublime your dignity, and how excellent your
worth, which demanded so high a price. |
