“IT SNOWED so much I could not go to the place I had determined to go to, and I was obliged to stop on the road. I found rather an obscure street, and there saw a gospel service announced for that evening. I wanted to know how I might be saved, so I went to the service. No minister came, but at last a man went up to the front and opened his Bible and read, “Look unto Me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth.”
“Just setting his eyes upon me, as if he knew me all by heart, he said, “Young man, you are in trouble.” Well, I was, sure enough.
“Then he said, “You will never get out of it unless you look to Christ.” And then, lifting up his hands, he cried out, “Look, look, look! It is only look.” I saw at once the way of salvation. Oh, how I did leap for joy at that moment. I was possessed with that one thought. Like as when the brazen serpent was lifted up, they only looked and were healed. I had been waiting to do fifty things, but when I heard this word, “Look,” what a charming word it seemed to me.”
“And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole; and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bien any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.” Numb. 21:99And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived. (Numbers 21:9). ‘And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:14, 1514And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. (John 3:14‑15).
