*DAILY DEW 27/DECEMBER/2022* *One Son Given, Many Sons Received* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. AND I, IF I BE LIFTED UP FROM THE EARTH, WILL DRAW ALL MEN UNTO ME."* (John 12:30-32 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ When Jesus said "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me" he actually told us why He came to this earth! Two things can be drawn from this statement: He came to be lifted and He came to draw men unto Himself whenever He is lifted up! Celebrating Christmas without these two is an abuse of His coming! So you must ask yourself, "Do I lift Jesus up in and through my life?" Secondly, "Is my lifting Jesus up drawing men to Christ?!" If the second is absent, you are not correctly doing the first! Examine your life right now. When this truth hit me and my friends some years ago, we converted our Christmas season to a missions and evangelism season. For us, Christmas is not defined by new clothes, new shoes, new fashion, new hairdos, visiting villages and having family reunions, killing chicken or goat and eating Christmas rice and chicken! 😁 Rather, Christmas, if it must be anything, became for us a season to do unbridled missions and evangelism for a week! This became known as, Hunting The Perishing, which is also a flagship program of the Revival CORPS (a missions agency that mobilizes Christian youths (and youths at heart) and teens for the work of missions! We must lift Jesus up in the villages and places He may not be too familiar. Where He is already somewhat familiar, we must reawaken the consciousness of lifting Jesus up and giving Him the opportunity to draw men unto himself. By the grace of God, today, we now mobilize seven to eight teams every December to simultaneously go to various villages for the week long missions outreach. We started as four young people(teenagers more or less), and today we number over forty young people that strive to lift Jesus up, that Jesus may draw men unto himself! The divine agenda of the Father when He gave us His son, is to raise many other sons like Jesus. Every genuine follower of Jesus must therefore follow this agenda or plan, to execute it not only in December, but every other period of the year! _MEDITATION:_ *"God became man to turn creatures into sons: not simply to produce better men of the old kind but to produce a new kind of man. It is not like teaching a horse to jump better and better but like turning a horse into a winged creature."* -- C. S.
