Jesus spoke of being lifted up. He was talking about His death. He was nailed to the cross. The Roman soldiers lifted His cross for Him to die. He died for your sins. God proved His love for sinners in Christ crucified.
The Spirit of Christ uses the message of Christ crucified to draw you to the everlasting love of God. God's great love draws your heart. It is never an overpowering display of force. It's an overwhelming display of love.

Artists have painted Christ crucified on canvass. Sculptors have edged Christ crucified in stone. Song writers have described God's love at the cross in music. Scripture has revealed Christ suffering for sinners at the cross in prophecy, as well as in the gospel story of the New Testament.
The message of the cross is brought home to your heart through the Holy Spirit drawing you to Christ. An unbelieving world asks, "How do you know that Christ crucified is the power of God to change lives?" The believer responds, "This one thing I know. The message of Christ crucified drew me to God's love and grace." The world just can't see it, but as a believer you know God's love drawing you to Christ.

Jesus said, "And I, if I am lifted up from the earth,
will draw all people to Myself."
John 12:32
