Too “bright” for raw faith

John 3:15 (Numbers 21)

For those too “bright” for raw faith, it was over. But for those who were drawn by desperation to look in faith, they were healed. If it had been you (dying from the poison of the snake), you would have been pleading, “Somebody please, get me to the door. I need to see it.”

They knew there was no magic in the bronze serpent. God was simply calling for raw faith.

We are not called to believe blindly. But we are asked to be not too proud to bow before God and say “Lord save me.”
