John 12:32 KJV
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me.

This He said, signifying what death He should die.
Crucifixion:
Isaiah 53:7 KJV
He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth: He is brought as A Lamb to the slaughter, and as A Sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He openeth not His mouth.
John 3:14-16 KJV
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must The Son Of Man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 8:28 KJV
Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up The Son Of Man, then shall ye know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father hath taught Me, I speak these things.
John 18:31,32 KJV
31 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye Him, and judge Him according to your Law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
32 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which He spake, signifying what death He should die.
Being lifted up (Crucified), He bore or sins, and drew all men unto Himself.
What will you do with Jesus Christ?
I John 2:1,2 NLT
My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an Advocate who pleads our case before The Father. He is Jesus Christ, The One who is truly righteous.
2 He Himself is The Sacrifice that atones for our sins—and not only our sins but the sins of all the world.
Hebrews 2:9 NLT
What we do see is Jesus, who for a little while was given a position “a little lower than the angels”; and because He suffered death for us, He is now “crowned with glory and honor.” Yes, by God’s grace, Jesus tasted death for everyone.
Prayer:
I John 5:12 KJV
He that hath The Son hath life; and he that hath not The Son Of God hath not life.
