Christ Drew All Men to Him (Part 2)

      Christ Drew All Men To Him - Part 2 - Pr. Marv Wiseman

Our Lord Jesus Christ made a straight-forward statement in John 12:32 when he said, “If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto Me.” The “lifted up” is undeniably speaking of His impending crucifixion whereby He would literally be lifted up by being placed on a cross. What He meant by “drawing all men unto Him” cannot be speaking of popularity or acceptance because all men have not and are not so drawn to Him.

Christ – His Incarnation 

      Christ: His Incarnation - Pr. Marv Wiseman

Nothing known to man in all his past, present, or future will have had such an enormous impact in its accomplishment or in its ramifications as this singular event.  We speak of that monumental act when God became man.  Theologians called it the “incarnation”.  Incarnation is related to the word “carnivorous”, having to do with meat or flesh.  Flesh-eating animals are called “carnivorous”, as opposed to herbal or vegetarians like elephants.  Continue reading “Christ – His Incarnation “ →
