Numbers 21:  Moses accordingly made a bronze serpent and mounted it on a pole, and whenever anyone who had been bitten by a serpent looked at the bronze serpent, he lived.
Philippians 2:  Because of this, God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, …
John 3:  For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.

 

There is no person below us and none above us either. We will be judged both on our respect for others and on our sense of the equality of all.
