Commentary on John 8:28
Jesus prophesies His crucifixion ('when ye have lifted up the Son of man') as the event that will prove His identity and mission. The cross, appearing to be Christ's defeat, will actually vindicate Him. His obedient death and subsequent resurrection will demonstrate He does nothing independently but only what the Father commands. The cross proves Christ's authority.
