So, I’m reading this morning in John’s gospel, and this verse stopped me: “And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself” (John 12:32). Almost immediately, another verse injected itself from my memory: “For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.” (1 Corinthians 2:2).
In other words, Richard, don’t lift up your church. Lift up Jesus. Don’t lift up your pastor. Lift up Jesus. Only in lifting up Jesus will He draw to Himself all who still hunger and thirst for righteousness.
