On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Here is gospel indeed, good news, the best that ever came from heaven to earth. Here is much, here is all in a little, the word of reconciliation in miniature.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

As one that is mortally wounded, or sick of an incurable disease, is said to be a dead man, for he is dying; and so Christ came to save us, by healing us, as the brazen serpent healed the Israelites,
