An Elevated Christ

Good Morning Ekklesia

Lifting Christ High in Every Moment

John 12:32 (NLT)

"And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself."

In this passage, Jesus speaks not only of His crucifixion but also of the power of His name when exalted above all things. Jesus was physically lifted on the cross, but the call to lift Him higher didn’t end there. It extends to us today—lifting Him in our hearts, our words, our actions, and every corner of our lives. When Christ is lifted, His promise is fulfilled: He draws people unto Himself.

In a world that often pulls us in many directions, it is easy to lose focus. But the truth remains—when we center our lives around Jesus, when we lift Him up in our decisions, our responses to challenges, and our relationships, He begins to attract others through us. The world is watching. They see what we value and what we worship. Let them see Christ exalted in everything we do.

Today, find one area where you can lift Christ higher. Is it in your workplace, where you can demonstrate His love? Or perhaps in your family, where you can show grace and forgiveness? Maybe it's within yourself, choosing to trust His plan over your fears. Whatever it is, exalt Christ, and watch as He begins to draw hearts, including your own, closer to His.

"Father, we thank You for the promise that when Christ is lifted high, He draws us closer to His love and purpose. Help us today to elevate Jesus in every aspect of our lives. Give us the strength to reflect His grace, His mercy, and His truth. May we be a living testimony that points others to Your saving power. In Jesus' name, Amen."

At Ekklesia Christian Life Ministries, we believe that life truly begins when Christ is at the center. If you haven't yet made the decision to lift Him up in your heart and follow Him, today is the perfect time. Join us as we elevate Jesus and experience His life-changing power together. We invite you to accept Christ, and let Him draw you into a relationship that transforms your life forever.
