“And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself” (John 12:32). Jesus spoke of the benefits and advantages of His being lifted up. It was not the elevation that many seek.

Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, (2) as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, (3) if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious. 1 Peter 2:1-3 The passions and desires of a converted saint are different from the cravings of the sinner.

“Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you” (Isaiah 60:1).

“The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?” (Prov 18:14 KJV). Our spirits possess resilience in order not to sink under the force of pressure.
