Go The First Ten Feet

Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Apr 8, 2017

And just in case you are tempted to interpret this up-lifted status to mean something glitzy, John sticks in a little commentary in verse 33 to make clear that the "lifting up" Jesus had in mind was the cross. Ultimately Jesus ...read more
