1 | Kathy, Is "Lifting His name" Biblical? | John 12:32 | Aixen7z4 | 103920 | ||
Lifting up his name is a scriptural idea. The only problem here is, as you point out correctly, that Luke 12:32 is not the right passage to base it on. Psalm 34:3 suggests that we should lift up his name. We should do it, not primarily for our sake, but for His sake, and for their sakes, those who do not yet know Him. We should exalt him (Exodus 15:2;Isaiah 25:1). We should praise him (Isaiah 25:1; Isaiah 42:12). We should boast of him (Psalm 34:2; Psalm 44:8). We should glory in his name (1 Chronicles 16:10;Psalm 105:3). We should magnify the Lord (Psalm 34:3; Psalm 69:30; Luke 1:46). It will affect and draw those who are humbly seeking him. The only point here is, again, that none of this is suggested in Luke 12:32. That passage is speaking of Jesus being lifted up on the cross. Right idea. Wrong verse. Change the verse, to Psalm 69:30ff, for example, and lift his name on high. |

Noble you are meaning John 12:32, and not Luke right? I am almost sure you mean John but I don't want to assume:) But as I have pointed out now on this thread with the entire greek translation... It does in fact not only suggest but it translates "exaltation or adoration" in John 12:32. Please see my post ID# 103946 Your friend in Him, -Kathy |
