I think of how the Israelites made the image of a calf in an act of idolatry against God, and sometime thereafter, God asked Moses to make an image of an animal in order to save the Israelites.

In these recent times, there has been much talk about bullying that occurs especially among children. However as I read the Matthew scripture, I couldn't help but see how Jesus was bullied. That seems to relate to the Numbers scripture referenced above and the meditation above. Thanks for your thoughts. In another Lent meditation, the scripture reference for today was Matt 27:27-29.

Without it, I would not have seen the similarities between Moses' bronze snake and the Cross. Thanks for this thoughtful devotional.
