The class also discusses the concept of grace in the Psalms and its fulfillment in Jesus.
Class 2: Class 2 - The Serpent in the Wilderness
The class discusses the serpent in the wilderness from Numbers chapter 21, drawing parallels to Jesus Christ. It explores how God's people rejected the manna, symbolizing their rejection of Christ, and how the serpent on the pole represents Jesus, who was lifted up to save humanity.
