161 | Do you recall the day of your Salvation | John 12:32 | khuck | 103826 | ||
Dearest Brothers and Sister in Christ; Before I leave for worship this morning, I desire to pose another query on the forum, but this time I will answer it before I ask, so that I cause no one to feel offended or hurt and to assure you that there is no malicious intent. I think there is so much power to draw people to Christ when we lift Him up by our testimony. I have been in some church all of my life. My grandmother who was a founding member and very active member of our family church when I was born; made sure that my first outing as a newborn was to the church to be dedicated. I have been going ever since. But I made a conscience decision to call upon the name of Jesus to be saved almost 31 years ago. I met this young Lady named Ann. As our friendship grew she had me over for lunch. She began to tell me things that I already knew, as to how the Lord died for my sins. But as she spoke the words that I had heard over and over throughout the years, I began to take those words very personally for the first time. I remember bawling as I recalled all of the sinful things that I had done in my life, and I could vividly see Jesus suffering on that cross and dying because of "MY" flagrant sins and disobedience. It was just Him and me. I was a guilty wretched sinner and He was my Loving Lord paying the price of all that I had done and that price was death. To think that He would love me that much all of this time and I had never once considered it thoughtfully. (AND REMEMBER I WAS IN CHURCH) At that point it was no longer my Christian religion it became my Christ relationship. I knew that I could in no way deserve such a gift, but I accepted so great a salvation, and vowed to let Him be the Lord of my life. The words of that song, "He looked beyond my faults and saw my needs" began to mean something to me on that day. I have been in Him since that day. Sometimes up, and sometimes down, but I promise you NEVER OUT! My question: Do you remember the day that He saved you and what is your testimony of that day? For God so Love the world, He gave His ONLY begotten Son that we may live! -Kathy |

Hi Searcher, Certainly you have had one long journey! You accepted Christ exactly 1 month and 6 days before I entered this world :) Truly you can say: It's been worth having the Lord in my life I'm satisfied just living for Jesus Christ, It's been worth having the Lord in my life... I don't know what I would do without the Lord! It was the Grace of God that brought me out through the years It was the Grace of God that took away ALL my fears! ***Shirley Caesar Today in the service all of the little children came to the alter for prayer and several of them confessed that it was God who has kept them thus far!!! Thank you for sharing your testimony and helping to lift Jesus! John 12:32 "And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself." -Kathy |

Dearest Noble! Indeed He has given us a new name! What a beautiful testimony. How wonderful that our Lord and Savior is now also our Friend! I guess you know what has come to my mind: John 15:15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. Noble you are always such a blessing to me and if I have not said it recently... thanks for being my friend. -Kathy |

Dearest Hank, I am so glad that you responded to this one! :) Somehow I knew that you would, and I knew that it would touch something in my heart. (and of course the objective of such a question is to touch the hearts of those who are seeking salvation) Your testimony, is a great reminder of the unmeasurable Love, the unspeakable value, and the infinate Grace, of our Lord. It outshines every other momentus and significant event in the life of those who choose to trust and follow Him. One would have to be a true believer to appreciate a testament of Faith such as yours. Thank you so much for not hiding this one under the tub (grin) Yours in Christ, -Kathy |

165 | 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 |

(I, if I be lifted up from the earth) If we who are here on this earth, those in which His very Spirit abides will just exalt Him (LIFT HIS NAME - HERALD HIS GOOD NEWS)! (I will draw all men unto me) He will; not us, but Jesus WILL draw all men unto Himself. Dear Brother Tim... you have a taker... I will gladly exalt and magnify Him! Not only for our sake, but for those who do not know Him! God Bless you, Kathy |

Indeed He has lifted you up and turned you around, And He has placed your feet on HIGHER ground! I encourage you; that after having done all to stand, continue standing on the Rock of Ages! That is one POWERFUL Testimony! Yours in Christ, -Kathy |

I humbly offer this post in peace and graciousness: What if it can be proven that both translations are correct? It took some homework but if I translate the Greek correctly, I think we are all looking through God's same window and just admiring different parts of the view. John12:32 Lifted up from the earth - This is a Hebraism which signifies dying. Death in general is all that is usually imported. But our Lord made use of this phrase, rather than others that were equivalent, because it so well suited the particular manner of his death. I will draw all men - Gentiles as well as Jews. And those who follow my drawings, Satan shall not be able to keep. John 8:28 -Jesus therefore said, When ye have lifted up the Son of man: Greek Lexicon - When ye have lifted up the Son of man: (otan upswshte ton uion tou antrwpou). otan: when, whenever, as long as, as soon as Indefinite temporal clause with otan (ote "plus" an) and the first aorist active subjunctive of upsow, to lift up (Koine verb from upsov, height), used several times in John of the Cross of Christ (3:14; 8:28; 12:32,34). It is unnecessary to render the aorist subjunctive as if a future perfect, simply "whenever ye lift up" (actually lift up, ingressive aorist). In Acts 2:33 the verb is used of the Ascension. otan: when, whenever, as long as, as soon as So this translates in more than one way - It can be said: Jesus therefore said, "When, whenever, as long as, as soon as , ye have lifted up the Son of man John 12:32 Greek Lexicon - And I, if I be lifted from the earth (kagw an upswtw ek thv ghv). an: case, 1; everyone, 1; except, 1; if, 2; or, 1; though, 2; unless, 34; whatever, 22; when, 2; whenever, 2; wherever, 8; whether, 1; whoever, 17; whomever, 2; upswtw (upsow):That he may exalt you upsow:That he may exalt you (ina upswshi).

Footnote- *****5. (31-36) Jesus plainly proclaims His death a. The world system was judged by its treatment of Jesus at the cross; Satan was defeated there also (Col. 2:14-15); but their defeat is God's victory b. The verb used for lifted up (hypsothenai) has a deliberate double meaning; it signifies not only literal elevation (as on a cross) but also exaltation (in rank or honour). We don't "lift up" Christ with our praises in the sense He means here; He was lifted up on the cross, and we proclaim that fact to the world. We lift Him but proclaiming the work of the Cross.*** Ok I am done on this one :) -Kathy |

171 | Kathy, Is "Lifting His name" Biblical? | John 12:32 | khuck | 103940 | ||
Searcher... I say a lot of things that are not in the "Bible" when I witness, like: -Let go and let God! -He's an on time God, He may not come when you want Him but He's always right on time! -God has smiled on me. But because they are not in the "Bible" does not make these phrases non-"Biblical" principles If you check all of my post to the thread, you will find that you have not referenced any verse of scripture to me that I did not already reference, post and agree to. And if you have truly read all of my post regarding this subject, then you ,know exacly what I mean and know that it is in fact very "Biblical". That is like me asking you how can you use the words "Biblical or Bible"... since they are found nowhere in scripture". (smile) Therefore I ask you, why do you ask me in effect: "Kathy, Where does the Bible mention "Exalting His Name" ... Why do you say "Lord I Exalt Your Name" ... what is the Biblical source? In the greek translation that is exactly what is meant by what I wrote. My answer to you is there is no other Name by which a person can be saved. Demons tremble at the sound of that name. It is a Name above all others and yes I exalt Him and I magnify the Name which is high above all names. I think that is pretty scriptural. Now being that I realize the perceived history between you and I, this will be my final response to you on the subject. I pray God's Peace thrives between us, -Kathy Now |

Hi Noble! :) Please read all of my post regarding this. The translation of the words that Tim and I are using is a correct and more of a Spiritual viewpoint, but it does translate as exaltation in the greek. All that you point to and reference I am in agreement with to. As a matter of fact I also point out these references in my previous post... (wondering if you have read those.) I know that Jesus was signifying the way that He would die. Yet He was also speaking of his being EXALTED. Check out the greek translations. The words "If I be lifted up" translates also within the context that Jesus used the words: Whenever I be exalted, Wherever I be exalted, Whosoever exalts Me" Exalts Mine Exalts Mine Own the words He used actualy translate like this too. Exalting His words draws men, whenever we preach that Gospel we are exalting him before the world. So again I say There is much biblical bases for saying LORD I EXALT YOUR NAME. As I said before It is the only Name that a man call call upon and be saved, demons tremble at the very sound of that Name, it is a Name exalted above all others. I will forever exalt and magnify the Name of Jesus. You don't know what He's done for me, but He gave me victory... and I love Him, deeply Love Him.... I really love the Lord. And that my dearest friend:) is why I say I lift His Name on High or I exalt His Name. I understand your that "facts" are true and I do agree with them. Always yours in Christ, -Kathy |

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 |

Hi Tim! Please check the translation on this one it is enlightening When he said If I be lifted up.... and it also clearly meant besides the death on the cross, If I be exalted.

It does in fact not only suggest but it translates "exaltation or adoration" as well as being lifted from the earth while on the cross in John 12:32. Please see my post ID# 103946 |
