John 12:32

32 And when I am lifted up on the cross, I will draw everyone to myself." (NLT)

Jesus was never distracted from the plan. He willingly went to the cross. He did not worry about what other people thought or said. Jesus rose above it all by keeping a Heavenly perspective. “To be in the world but not of it” and we too are to rise above because Jesus did. We are to be in the world but we are not to be partakers with the world and its sinful ways. We are to stand out, show that we are different, to show the world a better way and to show them we have spent time with Jesus. Jesus changes us from the inside out and we are to show that change to the world. We are to share and to live Jesus’s message of the gospel - death, burial and resurrection.

Jesus rose above it all.
