20/20 Focus on JESUS

20/20 Focus on JESUS
Each day we need to keep our eyes focused on JESUS - 20/20! I am sorry that I did not continue this blog into the beginning of 2021. Nine months passed by before I was convicted to return to this blog and encourage us to look at JESUS, with clear vision, via a daily scripture reading. Yellow highlights are names/descriptions of JESUS that we'll add to the list on the right.

2020 for JESUS - Day 126: JESUS is THIS MAN... THE KING OF THE JEWS... THE TRUTH...

What is truth? - Littleton Adventist Church



John 18:28-40 | When The Truth Speaks | Sermon and Worship Resources

John 18:28-40 

28 "Then they led JESUS from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early; and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover. 
29 Therefore Pilate went out to them and said, 
'What accusation do you bring against THIS MAN?' 
30 They answered and said to him, 
'If THIS MAN were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered HIM to you.'
31 So Pilate said to them, 
'Take HIM yourselves, and judge HIM according to your law.'
The Jews said to him, 
'We are not permitted to put anyone to death,' 
32 to fulfill the word of JESUS which HE spoke, signifying by what kind of death HE was about to die.
33 Therefore Pilate entered again into the Praetorium, and summoned JESUS and said to HIM, 
'Are YOU THE KING OF THE JEWS?'
34 JESUS answered, 
'Are you saying this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about ME?' 
35 Pilate answered, 
'I am not a Jew, am I? YOUR own nation and the chief priests delivered YOU to me; what have YOU done?' 
36 JESUS answered, 
'MY kingdom is not of this world. If MY kingdom were of this world, then MY servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, MY kingdom is not of this realm.' 
37 Therefore Pilate said to HIM, 
'So YOU are a king?' 
JESUS answered, 
'You say correctly that I am a KING. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to THE TRUTHEveryone who is of THE TRUTH hears MY voice.' 
38 Pilate said to HIM, 
'What is TRUTH?'
And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews and said to them, 
'I find no guilt in HIM. 
39 But you have a custom that I release someone for you at the Passover; do you wish then that I release for you THE KING OF THE JEWS?'
40 So they cried out again, saying, 
'Not THIS MAN, but Barabbas.' 
Now Barabbas was a robber."
