Lesson 7.2: The Bronze Snake

Lesson 7.2: The Bronze Snake 

Numbers 20:1-20; 21:4-9

This week we will experience the people of Israel grumbling to God in the wilderness. God punished them for their sin by sending poisonous snakes to bite the people. However, God also provided a way to be healed. He told Moses to place a bronze snake on a pole and whenever someone looked at it, they would live.   

Because of our sin, we face a huge problem: we are separated from God. We deserve to die, but anyone who looks to Jesus on the cross and trusts in Him will live forever with God.  

Help your children see that God takes sin seriously, but He also graciously provided a solution for sin: Jesus.
