Notes:

1. “This ‘lifting up’ of Jesus, while it has primary reference to His crucifixion, embraces more than the mere historical fact; it means that Christ must be ‘lifted up’ by all who believe in Him, as the crucified Redeemer, whose grace and glory are sufficient to supply the world’s greatest need; it means that He should be ‘lifted up’ in all His exceeding loveliness and power as ‘God with us,’ that His Divine attractiveness may thus draw all unto Him” (Christ Our Righteousness, p. 6) [Back to question 7]

2. The Greek word for “contradiction” is antilogia (antilogia), which means hostility or strife. [Back to question 10]

3. “We are ignorant, wicked, lost; Christ is to us wisdom, righteousness, redemption. What a range! From ignorance and sin to righteousness and redemption. Man’s highest aspiration or need cannot reach outside the bounds of what Christ is to us, and what He alone is to us.” (Ibid., p. 8) [Back to question 15]
