From Red Heifer to the Cross: Death, Purity, and Salvation in Numbers and John 3

Join us for a powerful exploration of how the ancient rituals of purification in the Torah point forward to the cross of Christ. This teaching unpacks the mystery of the Red Heifer in Numbers 19, the judgment on Moses and the water from the rock in Numbers 20, and the bronze serpent lifted in the wilderness in Numbers 21. We also explore Jephthah’s diplomacy and vow in Judges 11, and Jesus’ own words about salvation and light in John 3.
