Bronze Serpents, Talking Donkeys and What You Believe


Numbers 21-23
Which of these three are the most believable?  A bronze serpent that heals you of snake bites if you look at it, a donkey that sees angels and talks like a girl or a man who says, “Lord, Lord”. Believe it or not the first two are true, but not the third.  This is the sad story of Balaam who is made famous by his talking donkey.  But it’s not his donkey that we will focus on.   Balaam who we find calling on the Lord has many outward signs of a believer, but in the New Testament we are told he was not.  Jesus says, “Not everyone who says to me ‘Lord, Lord’ will enter the kingdom of heaven.”  Matthew 7:21 

What do you believe about Lord Jesus the Christ?
The rest of the story tomorrow.
