Numbers 21 records a tragic event in the camp of the Hebrews on their way out of Egypt and bondage to Canaan. When the food and water were scarce they spoke sinfully against God and Moses and despised the provide manna food. As a result of their rebellion God send poisonous vipers into the camp and hundreds began to die. Then the hurried to Moses asking God to have mercy. Moses prayed and God an unusual instruction. Make a bronze sake and put it on a pole. 
What is the meaning of this and how does it relate to Jesus?

Psalms 119:105 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.

I want to tell you this story about the first humans in a perfect Garden who met up with a talking snake. The events  in the Garden of Eden in Genesis Chapter 3 had profound effects upon the human race. Satan, the great Deceiver, managed to convince Eve to eat of the  fruit of the tree from which God had forbidden them to eat. Adam followed her lead instead of God's command, and also ate the forbidden fruit. . 
God's responded by turning Satan into a creature condemned to crawling on his belly. Yahweh God also declared that the descendent of the woman would bruise his head, while Satan's descendent would bruise the heel of the woman's descendent. 
Satan's fate was sealed in the coming of the Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth, whose death and resurrection brought the fatal curse on Satan's head.

I was happy when they said to me, Let's go to house of the Lord!
Why? Because I am meeting the living God in an assembly of his people. Such a weekly meeting is to identify myself as a believer in the true God and to fellowship with other believers through the offerings of joint hearing of God's word, singing and prayers. Cooperate worship of God through and in Jesus Christ is a command and is necessary for my soul's health, encouragement of fellow believers and the honoring of God. It is a chief expression of love to Jesus the Christ who made to way into the holy place through his sacrifice of his body on the cross. I never have to decide if I am going to the holy assembly.  Unless I am unavoidably stopped I will be there. It is my joy!  It is a holy habit, a spiritual discipline that expresses love to my Lord and to his body the church, the holy assembly!

Peter's first letter is addressed to a group of several local churches in part of the area we  now know as Turkey. He wants each church to understand that they are a special group of people loved and chosen by God to belong to Jesus Christ.  Although each person comes to God by personal faith, they do not come isolated from other believers.  1 Peter 2:9  describes each community of faith  as together a priesthood, that is, a group of priests who minister to one another.  Each church is holy, set apart for God's possession. And each group of believers is called to proclaim to the world the excellencies of Christ.  Peter wants us to live out our Christian lives in active, loving fellowship  with other believers. This is the spiritual house that we belong to and that he is building.

After King Uzziah of Judah died Isaiah records his encounter with God in his glory. Perhaps he had gone to the temple with David's Psalm 27 on his mind and even on his lips. Psalm 27:1-2,4

Yahweh is my light and my salvation.
     Whom shall I fear?
 Yahweh is the strength of my life.
     Of whom shall I be afraid?

One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after:
     that I may dwell in Yahweh’s house all the days of my life,
     to see Yahweh’s beauty,
     and to inquire in his temple.
 
What ever the circumstance Isaiah encounters God's glory!  Consider his experience and what it teaches us about the glory of God and how a person properly responds. It may not be as you expect!

The Bible has much to say about the glory of God. The psalmist prayed and longed for the glory of God. In fact we pray for it in the Lord's Model prayer for his disciples. Psalm 104:31-34 NIV
May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in his works— he who looks at the earth, and it trembles, who touches the mountains, and they smoke. I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. May my meditation be pleasing to him, as I rejoice in the LORD.
‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:9-10
Moses gives us an example of a person who seeks the glory of God. Exodus 33:12-34:9
Why does he seek to see God's glory? How does God manifest himself? What is its purpose and what is Moses reaction?
 God's glory is the outshining of God's nature and attributes manifested in his exalted presence and his declared Word concerning himself. It is preeminently seen in Jesus Christ. John writes, "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. We observed his glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14-15 
To seek the glory or to be under the glory for one's own benefit is idolatry but to seek to give glory to God or to glory in God is worship.

Contains Verbal quote of a few sentences from Charisma magazine October 2018, by Jerry Mills, How God's Glory Realm Operates

The Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary to becoming a Christian, a believer in the Lord Jesus the Christ, and He is indispensable to the Christian life. Jesus, early in ministry told a respected teacher and leader in Judea/Israel, "You must be born again,"  born from above by the sovereign Spirit (John 3). The Holy Spirit is the Life-giver. He brings spiritually dead people (Ephesians 2:1-7) to spiritual life through the Word of the gospel so they hear God's call to repent and believe. The Spirit's work of regeneration is manifested in being awakened to their spiritual condition of being dead, deaf, and under God's wrath. Awakened by his sovereign grace, they hear Christ's call and come gladly and freely to the Savior. He caused us to be born again. "In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory." (Ephesians 1:13-14)

The Christian confession of God is totally unique. It is the result of historical revelation of God's actions in the life of the Hebrew people and the life, death, burial and resurrection and ascension. of Jesus Christ plus the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the believers on the Feast of Pentecost in the year of Jesus' ascension. The uniqueness and glory of the Christian Faith is there is only one God (Yahweh) that eternally exists in thee persons. This reality of God's nature,being and activity lies at the heart of true Christian worship. Two verses in the New Testament bring this truth of God forward. The Apostolic Benediction of 2 Corinthians 13:14 and the Great Commission of Jesus given to the church in Matthew 28:16-20.

God is one. God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Loving God is the first and the greatest commandment both in the Torah and on the lips of Jesus:

4 Hear, Israel: Yahweh is our God. Yahweh is one. 5 You shall love Yahweh your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might. Deut.. 6:4f

And he [Jesus] answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” (Luke 10:27).

But there are questions to think deeply about. How do you command love? How do you love an invisible God? 

1 John 4:19 gives us the key of how we can learn to love God. "We love him because he first loved us." Why should we love him, and how shall we love God? 

Consider the love of God, and the love of Jesus for us. Knowing this through the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of spiritually dead sinners will result in our response of loving him.
