John 3:15


so that everyone who believes (trusts, has faith) in him
may have (would have) eternal life."
[The atonement on the cross is illustrated by an event well known to Nicodemus at the end of the Israelites' journey through the desert – the bronze serpent. Previous generations had complained, but here a stronger word is used to complain when the people say they are tired of "this worthless food" that God has given them. They rebel and question why God and Moses have brought them out of Egypt to die in the desert. The Israelites' protection disappears and poisonous snakes appear in the camp, see Num. 21:5–6. When Jesus teaches about prayer in Luke 11:11, he uses a parable about how even an evil father would not give his son a snake if he asked for a fish. The Israelites no longer wanted anything to do with God, and he answered their prayer. The connection to the ancient serpent, Satan himself, becomes clear in the snakes that find their way into the tent camp and kill the people. Those who reject God will instead have Satan as their master. However, the Israelites acknowledge their sin. Moses raises up the bronze serpent, and everyone who looks at it is healed, see Num. 21:7–9. In the conversation with Nicodemus, sin is likened to these poisonous snakes. Sin is not only around us, it has also bitten us all. Just as the bronze serpent was lifted up in the desert, Jesus was made sin when he hung on the cross. Those who look up to him in faith are saved, see John 6:40.]
