John 12:32

And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

Dear Jesus, truly you were lifted up on that cruel cross of Calvary. Truly you were raised from that tomb where they laid you. Truly you were lifted up in the sight of your disciples and ascended to heaven where you sit exalted at the right hand of the Father. And truly all who catch a vision of this are drawn to you. And how could it be otherwise? How could anyone catch a true vision of yourself lifted up in this way, without falling to his knees and saying ``My Lord and my God”?
