In a couple of months, the world's eyes will look to a lit cauldron atop a massive stadium in the city of London as they host the summer Olympics. This will bring athletes and spectators from around the world together to celebrate athletic excellence and good sportsmanship. Millions more worldwide will be drawn to London to partake of this event through television and the internet. When that torch is lifted up to the cauldron, literally millions of eyes will be drawn to it.
How much more did Jesus being raised on the cross have such drawing power? Billions upon billions throughout history have all been drawn, not to a brightly lit cauldron, but to a blood-soaked piece of wood, and for good reason: the death on that cross brought life to the world. "And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself" (v. 32).
