What does the miracle of Moses' rod turning into a serpent mean?

Answered in 1 source

It symbolizes how Christ breaks the power of the law to condemn believers.

Moses' rod represents the law's power to punish sin, but when it's cast down and turns into a serpent, this illustrates the danger that the law poses to us as sinners. However, when Moses picks up the serpent by its tail, it signifies how Christ has taken the power of the law away from its ability to condemn us. In Christ, believers have obeyed the law, thus freeing them from its demands. Christ's obedience becomes our own, breaking the hold of the law over us.
