Have you ever experienced something that you wanted everyone to know about? Maybe it was an engagement or the birth of a new baby. Or maybe it’s a promotion at work or a big life change. When we have something like that, we just can’t wait to tell everyone about it. But as wonderful as those things are, we’ve been given something even greater to declare. In John 12:32, Jesus said: “And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to Myself.” This is a very bold claim Jesus is making about Himself. He is saying that He has the power to draw all people to Himself and that He needs to be lifted up. This is a symbol of the death He would die, but also representative of the worship He is worthy of. Jesus was telling us that by being lifted up on the cross, His death would give the whole world the opportunity to be in relationship with God. This is why the Gospel is called Good News! And do you know what? As Christ followers, you and I need to lift Jesus up on a daily basis. We are to constantly look for ways to bring His Name into conversations with family, friends, and co-workers, declare what He’s done for us, as well as what He wants to do for them.
