The teaching about the uplifting of the Son of Man (cf. 3:14–15; 8:28; 12:32) belongs to John the Evangelist and constitutes an important element of his Christology. While the Synoptics regard Christ’s Cross as a tool of his humiliation and torture, John contemplates the Cross as a place of glory and victory. From the height of the Cross, as a king’s throne, the Son of Man rules the world and performs the work of its salvation. Therefore, it lies in the best interest of the world that “the Son of Man must be lifted up” (3:14). Only then the humankind has an access to the fullness of God’s revelation. It recognises the true identity of the Uplifted, who has the right to speak of himself “I am” (cf. 8:28). In the moment of Jesus’s uplifting, the process of drawing up begins (cf. 12:32). Anyone who responds with faith and wholeheartedly wants to be drawn up by the Son of Man, can participate in it.
