Hakeem reflects on the ancient story of the serpent as a picture of deception, chaos, and destruction, and how that thread runs through Scripture to Christ. He unpacks Jesus as the one who defeats the serpent and restores life as the true Tree of Life and how following Him means joining in that work - pushing back darkness through truth, love, and the everyday acts that bring life.
