What does it mean that Christ must be lifted up?

Answered in 1 source

Being lifted up refers to Christ's crucifixion and the necessity of His sacrificial work for salvation.

In John 3:14, Jesus refers to being lifted up like the serpent in the wilderness, which symbolizes His crucifixion. This act of being lifted up was essential for the salvation of His people, as through His death, He bore the curse of sin and satisfied divine justice. The proclamation of Christ's death and resurrection is central to the gospel message, assuring believers that His sacrifice was sufficient for their redemption and that faith in Him leads to eternal life.
