Smith discusses in this sermon the necessity of a continuous look unto the serpent on the pole in order to perpetuate our new life. At first we must look upon him who became sin for us, we must also continue to do so for healing from the ailments of sin. There will never be a time in our lives where we cannot look to Christ for healing and remedy from our sin. In essence the looking to Christ is the beginning of the new birth, and looking unto him ever after is the perpetuation of the new birth.
