1 | Is lifting His name related to this vs? | John 12:32 | Searcher56 | 78815 | ||
Scripture ... Psa 63:4, Joh 12:31-36 ... Has anyone else heard someone quote John 12:32, then say something about us lifting His name? Out music minister does, and I have others do so. But, I do not see even an indirect correlation. Psalm 63:4 comes close ... but, I do not even know where we are told to lift His name. Any ideas? |

If I be lifted up... If I be exalted! Both are true, the verse does signify the manner in which our Lord should die, but it also means so much more. I am lifting His Name and exalting Him daily. Now I lift Him up in my praises of Him before a lost and dying world. COMMENTARY: ***What he meant by this, to prevent mistake, we are told (v. 33): This he spoke signifying by what death he should die, the death of the cross, though they had designed and attempted to stone him to death. He that was crucified was first nailed to the cross, and then lifted up upon it. He was lifted up as a spectacle to the world; lifted up between heaven and earth, as unworthy of either; yet the word here used signifies an honourable advancement, ean hypsotho — If I be exalted; he reckoned his sufferings his honour. _______________________________ ***Verses 32, 33 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself. But this he said, signifying by what manner of death he should die. As Dr. Baxter wrote: It is difficult to realize the tremendous faith which this expression reflects. We hear these words through nineteen centuries of Christian history which followed them; but, when Jesus made the statement here, there was little visible evidence to make anyone believe that these words might literally come true. It must have seemed to those who heard it the most presumptuous statement ever made. Lifted up ... See under John 3:14. The primary reference of this is to Jesus' death by being lifted up upon the cross; but the words suggest other truth also. Christ was lifted up from the grave; he was lifted up into heaven; he has been lifted up in the hearts of men by the preaching of the gospel in all ages since then. Draw all men unto myself ... He draws men in that he alone loved men sufficiently to die for them, in that he is the only true revelation of God, in that he is the only perfect soul who ever lived on earth, and in that he alone is the satisfaction of the soul's deepest desires. The glorious manner in which the daring words of this prophecy have been fulfilled defies explanation. Jesus of Nazareth is the most conspicuous and the mightiest of all the personalities ever to make themselves known on earth; and, in the last decade alone, there have been more beautiful buildings constructed and dedicated to the honor and worship of Jesus Christ throughout the world than have been constructed and dedicated to any one hundred of the greatest kings and rulers who ever lived; and still Jesus marches on! *** Lord I lift Your Name on High! -Kathy |

Searcher56: Thats a good question. Are you speaking of this verse or the bible in general? I dont see it in this verse but I do find it in the bible. Lift- To project or sound in loud, clear tones: Lift-To uplift; elate: Lift-The act or process of rising or raising to a higher position. KJV 2 Chronicles 5:13-14 13. It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the Lord, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord; 14. So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God. KJV Isaiah 24:14-15 14. They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the Lord, they shall cry aloud from the sea. 15. Wherefore glorify ye the Lord in the fires, even the name of the Lord God of Israel in the isles of the sea. KJV Isaiah 40:9 9. O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God! KJV Isaiah 42:11-12 11. Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains. 12. Let them give glory unto the Lord, and declare his praise in the islands. God Bless |
