The serpent lifted up by Moses, referenced in John 3:14, was a brass sculpture. No Christian considers Christ crucified to be pathetic. However, Hagee-ites would likely feel that way because they do not believe Jesus died as the Christ.

Actually, it's more like we believe that the cross is empty because His death on the cross is FINISHED just as He said, and that Jesus is risen.

We serve a RISEN Christ, not one still hanging there dying, not having completed the work of redemption by rising from the dead.

I had that exact same thought as I looked at the picture. Catholics seem to have not gone beyond. They are still “under the law” and not grace.
