Moses lifted up a replica of a saraph serpent and all who looked upon it were saved from the poisonous venom; Jesus, lifted upon the tree of the cross has brought salvation to all who believe.
We see the crucifix so frequently that the suffering involved with death on the cross falls on dulled hearts. Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ, was criticized for being so brutal, but was probably the closest view we have of what crucifixion was really like. It was bloody, painful, and long-drawn out.
When we think we have it bad, a long gaze at a crucifix and the recollection of the pain Jesus endured for us should put our sufferings in perspective.
