What does the Bible say about Jesus being lifted up?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible indicates that Jesus must be lifted up like Moses lifted the serpent, fulfilling His role for atonement and justification.

In John 3:14, we see that Jesus must be lifted up just as Moses lifted the serpent in the wilderness. This 'lifting up' speaks to Jesus' condescension as He came down to redeem sinners and His ultimate sacrifice on the cross for the atonement of sin. It signifies not just His crucifixion but also His glorification following resurrection and ascension. In Acts 13:23, it declares Jesus as the Savior raised from the lineage of David, fulfilling the promise of redemption and salvation for Israel and all believers.
