How do we know that Jesus must be lifted up?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' necessity to be lifted up is affirmed in John 3:14 as part of God's ordained plan for redemption.

In John 3:14, Jesus compares His future crucifixion to Moses lifting up the serpent in the wilderness, which provided healing to the Israelites. This serves as a foreshadowing of Christ's sacrificial death, which is essential for the salvation of His people. The lifting up of Christ is not merely a historical event but a necessity dictated by divine decree, ensuring that all who look to Him in faith receive eternal life.
