3:16 on 3/16

This sermon was delivered on 3/16, so it's an exposition of John 3.16, In the two preceding verses, Jesus explains to Nicodemus who he is what God is doing through him by referencing an obscure moment in Israel's history. That moment is recorded in Numbers 21.4-9, and involves a bizarre situation where God judges Israel's sin with deadly vipers, and then provides an unusual means of mercy.
