Title John 12:32 - Attraction
Contents
When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men to me.
But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself."
1. What God is doing
God sent Jesus.
God sent Jesus to earth.
God has decided to lift Jesus from the earth.
God leads through Jesus.
God does not draw you to anyone or in any other way. God leads only through Jesus. If God had chosen to draw you to someone else or in another way, He would have spoken to Jesus as well. Jesus, too, was faithful only to God's ways. Jesus did not lie or do anything. He didn't even pretend that things that didn't exist as if they didn't exist. Jesus said that because God decided to lead people only through Jesus. In the end, to be drawn from God, you must go through Jesus. Anyone who says they can be drawn to God without going through Jesus is a liar. You can only lead Jesus when he is lifted up from the earth first.
(1) When I am lifted up from the earth, I will bring all men.
God leads everyone.
Although God made all the creatures in this world, He did not mean that He would lead them all. God draws only those who have become living beings in His image and His breath. It is only led through Jesus. Because only those who have been saved through Jesus can receive the heavenly body. Because you can wear even the glory of the heavenly ones. When Jesus leads all people by being lifted up from the earth, even the glory that Jesus had with the Father before the foundation of the world is restored.
God leads all people and leads them to the end.
God leads only through His Son, Jesus. The reason God has decided to do this is because Jesus only acted as promised. Those who come through Jesus believe the promised word above all else, so those who believe in this way will lead, but lead to the end. Jesus came to perfect, to fill, and to actually complete it. Even those who come through Jesus like this are led by God and lead them to the end. You must be a believer that Jesus has been lifted up from the earth. We must become those who believe that He is the one who died and rose again and ascended into heaven. We must prepare for that day and hour, believing that He ascended to heaven and will return to this world at God's appointed time. He leads all such people without exception.
(2) When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw you to me.
God draws, but draws to Jesus.
Jesus is at the right hand of the heavenly throne. If you are drawn to Jesus by God, you will be drawn closer to Jesus who is on the heavenly throne. In order to do that, we must become those who are led by Jesus from this earth before we are drawn from earth to heaven. Because where Jesus is, there are those who serve Him. Those who say that they were not led by Jesus from this earth, but that they will be led when they are lifted up from the earth like Jesus do not know that Jesus obeyed the word of God even to death in order to be lifted up from the earth first.
God draws us to Jesus so that we can imitate Him.
The reason that God dares to lead to Jesus afterward is so that even if he stands before Jesus, he will not be ashamed. This is because if you obey only the words that Jesus has told you from this earth, and obey even to the point of death, even if God leads you to Jesus, there is nothing to be ashamed of. However, even on this earth, those who do not obey the words of Jesus and will only come to the result of being drawn afterward are those who do not realize that when Jesus comes again, he is not coming as a savior, but as a judge. Those who obey Jesus and imitate Jesus alone are not ashamed of being drawn to Jesus, but rather, they are ready to welcome Jesus, so they can welcome Him.
2. The heart of God
You want to be led
God allows you to be drawn from this earth by His Word.
God did not lift Jesus up on this earth simply because He was the Son. Although Jesus was the Son, He emptied Himself, took the form of a servant, and became obedient to the point of death. He was declared the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead. As a believer, at least you should be able to have the spirit of holiness even if you have no other powers. Because faith is not in words, but in power. Even though he may not have the power to heal the sick and raise the dead, he wants them to have the spirit of holiness. So, from this earth, He wants to be led only by the Word of God.
John 6:44 ?쏯o one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.??
Father leads.
Jesus said that even those who come to Him are drawn by the Father. He said that no one can even come to Jesus unless the Father draws him. And Jesus said that the one whom the Father drew is that you will raise him up on the last day. Jesus never did what he promised. Just as you kept your promises or promises while you were on this earth, even after that, you will only keep your promises. However, if you want to be led, you must believe in the word of promise that Jesus gave and become one who is led every day according to that promise. Otherwise, like Judas Iscariot, he becomes a man doing his own thing.
3. Who God is
You are the one who leads
God not only draws us to Jesus, but at the last day also draws us back to Jesus through Jesus.
4. Traces of Jesus (Confession and Sharing)
(1) The blood of Jesus - What we did not want to be drawn into (2) The life of Jesus - What we chose to be drawn to
5. Prayer
Even though God drew him to Jesus
to be attracted by the things of the earth,
I tried to be attracted to people
forgive me
May I be drawn to you every day
Help me to be led by the words of Jesus
Help me to be led by the grace of Jesus
Then, let me be led by Jesus.
