God not only sees you just as He sees Christ, but you are personally united with Christ and His merit imputed through Word & Sacrament. In the Holy Eucharist you receive His body, blood, and benefits. Be ”fed with your ears” [Luther] by Law & Gospel Preaching proclaiming Christ’s Person & Work in Forensic Justification. Rest in the renewing of your mind as Scripture interprets Scripture through Christ in His unfolding story.

Israel’s rebellion and suffering in the wilderness show human sin and futility, while God’s mercy provides a way of rescue through a lifted image that points to Jesus.Christ became the curse of sin on the cross so that all who look to him in faith are saved.
