John 12:32 " And I, if I be lifted up from the earth will draw all men unto me".
Here is the glorious invitation to all mankind, to come to the Lord and be saved. Here is God calling His people to assemble themselves together from among the ways of this world and lift up Jesus that those in darkness might be drawn to His marvelous light. His desire is that all turn from sin and return unto Him. He is both a just God and a willing Savior to all who will come. Here we have the way for all to come, If we lift up Jesus, that will draw all men unto Him. He and He alone is God's perfect plan of salvation .
Jesus said and I, if I be lifted up from the earth will draw all men unto me. When we elevate Christ, lost soul will be saved. It is the lifting up of Christ that saves. We can't just talk about how good God is we must live like He is good. Our whole life must be one that elevates the goodness of God over the trials and tribulations of this world. Remember Jesus tells us to be of good cheer, for He has overcome the world. We lift up Christ by walking in a manner which brings Him glory. Living a life that professes He has all power, even over the will of the flesh. This is when we let our lights so shine, that those in darkness will see and glorify our Father which is in heaven.
Many profess Christ but few really put Him on display in their lives. It is easy to tell someone how they should live ,but God is calling us to show others how to live a life pleasing unto Him. A life complete with self denial and sacrifice. Let all who profess Christ, lift Him up in our walk that we might lead lost souls to the salvation of the Lord.
