12 And now behold, if God gave unto this man such power, then why should ye dispute among yourselves, and say that he hath given unto me no power whereby I may know concerning the judgments that shall come upon you except ye repent?
13 But, behold, ye not only deny my words, but ye also deny all the words which have been spoken by our fathers, and also the words which were spoken by this man, Moses, who had such great power given unto him, yea, the words which he hath spoken concerning the coming of the Messiah.
It's always crazy that people who have seen the miracles don't have the faith and strength to stick it out and do the right thing. It happens over and over again in scriptures.
14 Yea, did he not bear record that the Son of God should come? And as he lifted up the brazen serpent in the wilderness, even so shall he be lifted up who should come.
15 And as many as should look upon that serpent should live, even so as many as should look upon the Son of God with faith, having a contrite spirit, might live, even unto that life which is eternal.
I did a little research on this (by a little, I mean, I found this site: http://www.bible.ca/ef/expository-john-3-14-16.htm) and it seems that in the Bible story, people may have had to walk miles to look upon the serpent, I bet many people died because they didn't do it. It's an interesting little article.

The goal of this is to read more scriptures, think about them more, and understand them better. I hope to post as near once a day as I can. Most of the time I use muscle testing to find the specific scriptures I need to read that day.
