How Does the Copper Serpent Relate to Jesus?

When the Israelites complained God sent serpents to bite them. As a way to reverse the plague, Moses put a copper serpent on a pole. Upon looking at the copper serpent, the israelites would be healed from the effects of the serpent bites. I've been told this prefigures Christ in a way. The symbolism is strange indeed, because serpents always represent ... the other guy... The *Not* Jesus. How does the serpent on the pole represent Christ? Does the event have any other symbolic meanings relating to redemption?
