“And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” He said this to show by what kind of death he was going to die.” John 12:32-33 (NASB)
Jesus taught many important truths during His last days in Jerusalem before He was crucified. Many of His teachings to His disciples during those days and some of the things He told the crowds of people, are recorded in John's gospel. Today's verse is included in John's record. John explains that Jesus was showing the kind of death He knew He was going to suffer. Well, isn't it true that when we heard about Jesus dying on the cross for us it drew us to Him and we accepted Him as our Savior? And even today when we think of Him dying on the cross doesn't it draw us to Him in love. Let's think of Jesus dying on the cross. Let's think of Him often these days especially and each time we think of Him let's allow Him to draw us closer and closer to Himself. That was His desire the day He died. It is His desire today. Remember what He said in this verse.
