What does the Bible say about Christ being lifted up?

Answered in 5 sources

The Bible teaches that when Christ is lifted up, He draws all to Himself, representing His death on the cross and His power to save.

In John 12:32, Jesus states, 'And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.' This lifting up signifies His crucifixion, and through His sacrifice, He acts as a magnet, attracting sinners to Himself for salvation. This is not merely a universal drawing but a specific appeal to the elect, whom He saves through His atoning work on the cross. His death was not for Himself, but for the sins of His people, demonstrating His role as the perfect sacrifice.
