Why Jesus Christ died?" John 12 :32.

 And When I am lifted  -up [ on the cross], "I will draw everyone to me." Jn. 12;32. The Father answered Jesus' prayer aloud from heaven. That  by sending His son in the flesh and through His son' miraculous signs, the Father received the glory.
 Jesus said,  This voice was for your benefit, not mine. Now is the time for judgment on his world; now the prince of this world will be driven out. But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself. He said this to show the kind of death he was going to die.
 Very few of us have any understanding of the reason why Jesus Christ had to die. If sympathy is all that human beings need, then the "Cross of Christ is a farce, there was no need for it. What the world needs is not a " Little bit of love ," but a surgical operation. When you are face to face with a soul in difficulty spiritually, remind yourself of Jesus Christ on the cross. If that soul can get to God on any other line, then the cross of Jesus Christ is unnecessary. If you can help others by your sympathy or understanding, you are a traitor to Jesus Christ. You have to keep your soul rightly related to God and pour out for others on His line, not pour out on the human line and ignore God. The great note today is amiable religiosity.
  The one thing we have to do is to exhibit Jesus Christ crucified, to lift him up all the time. Every doctrine that is not embedded in the "Cross of Jesus" will lead astray. If the worker himself believes in Jesus Christ and is banking on the " Reality of Redemption,", the people he talks to must be concerned.  The thing that remains and deepens is the worker's simple relationship to Jesus Christ;
the usefulness to God depends on that and that alone. The calling of a New Testament worker is to uncover sin and to reveal Jesus Christ as Savior, consequently he cannot be poetical, he must be surgical. We are sent by God to lift up Jesus Christ, not to give beautiful discourses, but, through the scriptures bringing truth straight home, and to apply that truth fearlessly.
