Yeshua Elevates the Nations B’rit Chadashah John 12:20–36 “While you have the light, put your trust in the light, so that you may become people of light.” —John 12:36a Yeshua tells the crowd, “… as for me, when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself” (Jn. 12:32). The claim extends beyond accepting shame and humiliation of death on a cross to save sinful men [Morris, p. 452]. In fact, God the Father elevates Yeshua to the very throne of heaven itself (Ps. 89:37; Mt. 26:64).
