1 | Is lifting His name related to this vs? | John 12:32 | khuck | 103883 | ||
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 |

Kathy, - Where does the Bible mention "lifting His Name" ... - Why do you say "Lord I lift Your Name on High" ... what is the Biblical source? John 12:32-33 is about His being lifted up on the cross. John 3:14 is a cross reference and it mentions Moses (Num 21:4-9), where those who looked at the bronze snake up on the pole lived (vv 8-9). None of these references mention anything about lifting His name or any name. So where do you see lifting His Name being Biblical? Searcher |

3 | Kathy, Is "Lifting His name" Biblical? | John 12:32 | fran1946 | 103915 | ||
If you would look at Luke 17:13 this was the ten lepers they lifted up their voice to summons Jesus, they wanted him to have mercy on them, and He did . they were all cleansed. if we can lift up our voices to summons Jesus when we want something, why not lift his name to declare his doings . Jesus said if we didn't praise him that he would cause rocks to cry out to him. any way how can we praise some one if we don't lift up our voices. and when we tell of his goodness and sing of his goodness, we can't help but lift his name. all it is, is praising God for his goodness. His mercy and His grace the continues to follow us daily.PRAISE HIM HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED. | ||||||
