Then You Will Know

Then Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things.  John 8:28

Wait, what? After Jesus was lifted up on the cross and rose again from the dead, the Pharisees still did not know or admit that Jesus was the Son of Man. Even as Peter, James, and the other apostles spread the Gospel of Jesus, the Pharisees threw them in prison, killed them, and refused to know. So, when does this knowing take place? It may be one of those things where one, Nicodemus, began to know, then another, Joseph, and still another in Paul some years later came to know that Jesus was who He said. It may be that in the final years of this age the Pharisees become the largest force of our Lord's evangelists the world has ever seen, when they lift Him up as the Son of God and the Son of Man all at once. It happened with Paul, it could come once more. 

Rejoice in the Lord Jesus, He has this!
