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 128: JESUS is JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS...

Pray With Us! 2020 National Day of Prayer Event - Kenneth Copeland ...


On this "National Day of Prayer", join me in praying that JESUS did not come to the earth, live a sinless life, and die in vain.  Pray that this current "pandemic" will draw more and more people to JESUS!

Interesting that our reading for today, is the dying of JESUS for the world...

John 19:16-30

16 "So he then handed HIM over to them to be crucified.
17 They took JESUS, therefore, and HE went out, bearing HIS own cross, to the place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha. 
18 There they crucified HIM, and with HIM two other men, one on either side, and JESUS in between. 
19 Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It was written, 
JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.” 
20 Therefore many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where JESUS was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Latin and in Greek. 
21 So the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, 
“Do not write, ‘THE KING OF THE JEWS’; 
but that HE said, 
‘I AM KING OF THE JEWS.’
 22 Pilate answered, 
What I have written I have written.”
23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified JESUS, took HIS outer garments and made four parts, a part to every soldier and also the tunic; now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece. 
24 So they said to one another, 
'Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be'; 
this was to fulfill the Scripture: 
'They divided My outer garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots.'
25 Therefore the soldiers did these things.
But standing by the cross of JESUS were HIS mother, and HIS mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 
26 When JESUS then saw HIS mother, and the disciple whom HE loved standing nearby, HE said to HIS mother, 
'Woman, behold, your son!' 
27 Then HE said to the disciple, 
'Behold, your mother!'
From that hour the disciple took her into his own household.
28 After this, JESUS, knowing that all things had already been accomplished, to fulfill the Scripture, said, 
'I am thirsty.' 
29 A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop and brought it up to His mouth. 
30 Therefore when JESUS had received the sour wine, HE said, 
'It is finished!'
And HE bowed HIS head and gave up HIS spirit."
