Let's Become a Believer Who Catches Snakes 2
Bible passage: Mark 16:16~18
“16. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18. they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well. "
The sermon title is “Let’s Become a Believer Who Catches Snakes.” More precisely, it is “Let us not become those who get bitten by snakes, but become those who catch snakes.”
When we say “Let us become those who catch snakes,” people say “snake catchers,” as you may know, there are those who make a profession out of catching snakes, but I am not saying to become such snake catchers. Here, the snake signifies Satan. In Genesis Chapter 3, a snake appears.
The Bible calls this the old serpent, and in the Garden of Eden, the snake, having received the instigation of Satan - the thought of Lucifer and the dragon - tempted Eve, causing her to commit the sin of eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, Revelation 20:2 says, “He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.”
