Jesus is our remedy for sin as He fulfilled the law and took upon Himself our nature to make satisfaction for sin.
In the sermon, it is emphasized that the poison from the fiery serpents is a representation of the incurable nature of sin, for which there is no antidote apart from Jesus Christ. He fulfilled the law and became a perfect substitute, taking on our nature without sin. This connection is drawn explicitly from Numbers 21, where God provides the Brazen Serpent as a remedy. When the Israelites looked upon it in faith, they were saved, illustrating that for us, looking to Christ in faith brings salvation. Romans 5:8 reflects this truth: 'But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.' This underlines the concept that Jesus alone can heal us from the deadly effects of sin.
