The Crucified King Quotes

“The glory of the cross is most explicit in the gospel of John when Jesus, speaking of his death, says, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified” (John 12:23). He continues, revealing that the glorification is also exaltation: “And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself” (12:32). Although such language initially sounds more fitting for the ascension or session, in the next verse Jesus makes it clear that he is referring to being “lifted up” in his death.”
