1 | THE MOST POWERFUL VERSE IN EVANGELISM! | John 12:32 | tj57h@cs.com | 88555 | ||
Joh 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. As we lift up Jesus Christ on this earth all those around us and ourselves are drawn unto him. To be raised to life one must hear the Gospel, be born again, and that requires belief in the heart and confession with the mouth the Lord Jesus. Rom 10: 8- 10. THIS IS THE MOST POWERFUL VERSE IN EVANGELISM AND ENCORAGEMENT IN THE BIBLE IN MY OPINION; WE NEED TO SPEND MORE TIME LIFTING UP JESUS AND HIS NAME! Love, Tim Hines |

2 | THE MOST POWERFUL VERSE IN EVANGELISM! | John 12:32 | Radioman2 | 88652 | ||
"But He was saying this TO INDICATE THE KIND OF *DEATH* BY WHICH HE WAS TO *DIE*." My intent here is not to contradict anyone or prove anyone "wrong." I merely point out in what sense the Bible uses the phrase "lifted up" when speaking of Christ. So, please take no offense, because none is intended. If I understand you correctly, you imply that somehow Jesus is to "be lifted (by our words and actions)." But is that really what "lifted up" means according to the Bible? John 12:32-33 "And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself." But He was saying this to indicate the kind of death by which He was to die. (NASB) And I, if and when I am lifted up from the earth [on the cross], will draw and attract all men [Gentiles as well as Jews] to Myself. He said this to signify in what manner He would die. (Amplified) Do we really want to lift up Jesus again? "For in that he died, he died unto sin once." Romans 6:10 (KJV) According to Hebrews chapter 10 (Amplified New Testament), it was necessary that Jesus be LIFTED UP (that He die) only once. v. 10 And in accordance with this will [of God], we have been made holy (consecrated and sanctified) through *the offering made ONCE FOR ALL * of the body of Jesus Christ (the Anointed One). v. 12 Whereas this One [Christ], *after He had offered A SINGLE SACRIFICE for our sins [that shall avail] FOR ALL TIME*, sat down at the right hand of God, v. 14 For by A SINGLE OFFERING He has forever completely cleansed and perfected those who are consecrated and made holy. (Emphasis added in these verses.) In summary, when Jesus said "if I am lifted up [on the cross]," He was saying this to indicate the kind of death by which He was to die. And the Bible clearly says, "For in that he died, he died unto sin once" Romans 6:10 (KJV). Therefore, it is not necessary that He be "lifted up" again and again. |

Anyone who can shed more light on this scripture? As we proclaimed the Gospel we are proclaiming his death burial and resurrection, this is lifting him up were he is seated at the right hand of God in heaven. THIS WILL DRAW ALL MEN UNTO HIM. I am not your Lord he is, but why one would want to discount one of the most powerful verses for evangelism and building up the saints, I will never know. I walk in this and he draws all men unto him when I proclaim his great name. I pray that you receive spiritual enlightenment of this verse. Love, Tim Hines |

Tim Hines writes: "God will not strike you down for proving his word." I reply: Neither will He strike you down for determining the meaning of a verse by considering the context in which it appears. --Radioman2 |
