Who are the All Christ shall draw to Him ?
Jn 12:32
32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
Who are the All Christ shall draw to Him ? Jesus makes a promise, not a offer, that if a certain condition occurs a certain effect will take place !
Now what is the Promised Effect here ? What is the condition stated for that effect to occur ? So then who are the All ? Its as simple as 2+2 , the All here are the ones drawn to Christ !
If Christ was lifted up for anyone, the evidence of that will be that that one shall be drawn to Christ, and will/shall follow Him !
The word draw here is the key, its the greek word helkó and means:
I drag, draw, pull, persuade, unsheathe
properly, induce (draw in), focusing on the attraction-power involved with the drawing.
metaphorically, to draw by inward power, lead, impel:
It also means in this scripture and Jn 6:44 :
I by my moral, my spiritual, influence will win over to myself the hearts of all,
Christ is promising to spiritually persuade them to follow Him. Also the word persuade has to do with Faith and or Believing, for instance, the common word for Faith as in Eph 2:8 is the greek word pistis and it means:
pístis (from 3982/peithô, "persuade, be persuaded") – properly, persuasion (be persuaded, come to trust); faith.
And again the word draw helkó means:
I drag, draw, pull, persuade, unsheathe
That coincides with the idea of :
I by my moral, my spiritual, influence will win or persuade over to myself the hearts of all
Jesus is promising to win over to Faith all for whom He is Lifted up for !
