The Son of Man “Lifted Up” in John’s Gospel (2)

Then Jesus said to them, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He."
John 8:28

The Son of Man "Lifted Up" in John's Gospel (2)
This is the second occasion in John's Gospel in which the Lord speaks about being lifted up—specifically that they would lift Him up as the Son of Man, the first occasion being found in John 3:14. The term Son of Man was often used by the Lord Jesus in reference to His rejection and sufferings, or when speaking of His glorious second coming and kingdom. Christ's sufferings and glory are the two characteristic features of that name. This can be seen in the first mention and the last mention of the "Son of Man" in the New Testament. Strikingly, both references focus on the blessed head of our Lord.

In the first mention, the Lord Jesus responds to a statement of a would-be disciple that he was willing to follow the Lord . Christ replied that the animals have their resting places but He, as the rejected Son of Man, had nowhere to "lay His head." In the last mention of the Son of Man, we see the head of the Lord mentioned again: Jesus is crowned with a golden crown (Rev. 14:14). The time for the harvest of the earth has come. The Son of Man will come in power and great glory (Mt. 24:30; Dan. 7:13-14); these references show both His sufferings and His glory.

In our text the Lord is having a lengthy dialogue with the Pharisees. These religious critics just didn't understand the Lord Jesus; He says to them, "When you lift up the Son of Man," predicting their part in having Him crucified. How solemn, that mankind is responsible, humanly speaking, for the death of Christ! But also, "you will know that I am He"; it is through this they could potentially know that He is who He claimed to be—what grace! Indeed, even as He spoke of being lifted up, "many believed in Him" (Jn. 8:30).

FALSE PROPHETS AND THEIR PROPHECIES-THE FALSE PROPHET


And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

EVERYONE NEEDS A MIRACLE

Some years ago, I was invited to be the guest speaker at a garden party in an exclusive, highbrow residential area. Because I arrived at the venue quite early, I was made to sit for a while in the house of my host. The house was an exquisite parade of wealth and splendour. I had never seen such brazen display of...More

The bankruptcy that saves

None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him - for the redemption of their souls is costly, and it shall cease for ever.

You were not redeemed with silver or gold from your aimless conduct but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and...More
