Subject: Shall the image of Jesus be lifted up? |
Bible Note: Kalos, I agree with you to an extent. Jesus did say this to indicate how he would die, but He also said this to indicate how the lost would come to know Him. Strong's shows that the word used for "lifted up" in this verse is: 5312 hupsoo (hoop-so-o) from 5311; TDNT - 8:606,1241; v AV - exalt 14, lift up 6; 20 1) to lift up on high, to exalt 2) metaph. 2a) to raise to the very summit of opulence and prosperity 2b) to exalt, to raise to dignity, honour and happiness What I'm talking about is not to "recrucify" Him but to exalt and glorify Him, lifting Him up in our lives as a light in a world filled with darkness. Luk 11:33 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth [it] in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light. God bless you, Bob |
