Jesus said,"And I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto Me."
John 12:32

A few feet above the earth I regarded the world to which I came to love and save. I looked down at My world of pain and suffering, for those I came to love and save had nailed Me to a tree. And those who put Me there watched me suffer and die.

So has it been throughout the whole of created time. I have suffered and died countless millions of times, in the lives and deaths of My beloved children. But My presence and human experience at Golgotha has brought Me close to My beloved children as nothing else in the world could ever have done. What happened to Me through Our love and My willing offering effectively sealed for the Father the souls of all who look for salvation, however dimly, in the present of that day, the times that went before, and the ages beyond. Still I draw all men unto Me in love and saving action, and I suffer continuously in the pain and dereliction which is entailed. My loving children who commit their lives to Me cannot but share some measure of the world's suffering, but it is redemptive, through Me, and I suffer continually in all that they encounter.

So be strong in love and in your resolve to stay close to Me in loving commitment. And you shall attain, with all the Father's children, at the end.
