Holy Monday: I will draw all men to myself

The Pharisees were beside themselves because so many were following Jesus, and they said, "See how you prevail nothing; the world is gone after him." And Jesus himself then said, When I am lifted up, I will draw all men to myself. For the power by which men are drawn to him is not their own reason or strength, but the divine power of his word: the same word that called Lazarus forth from the grave, and that called all the worlds into being. Sermon for Holy Monday.
