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 130: JESUS is THE LORD... RABBONI... TEACHER...

The Empty Tomb

John 20:1-18
 "Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came early to the tomb, while it was still dark, and saw the stone already taken away from the tomb.
So she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom JESUS loved, and *to them, 
'They have taken away THE LORD out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid HIM.'
So Peter and the other disciple went forth, and they were going to the tomb.
The two were running together; and the other disciple ran ahead faster than Peter and came to the tomb first;
and stooping and looking in, he saw the linen wrappings lying there; but he did not go in.
And so Simon Peter also came, following him, and entered the tomb; and he saw the linen wrappings lying there,
and the face-cloth which had been on HIS head, not lying with the linen wrappings, but rolled up in a place by itself.
So the other disciple who had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed.
For as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that HE must rise again from the dead.
10 So the disciples went away again to their own homes.
11 But Mary was standing outside the tomb weeping; and so, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb;
12 and she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of JESUS  had been lying.
13 And they said to her, 
Woman, why are you weeping?” 
She said to them, 
'Because they have taken away my LORD, and I do not know where they have laid HIM.' 
14 When she had said this, she turned around and saw JESUS  standing there, and did not know that it was JESUS . 
15 JESUS said to her, 
'Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?' 
Supposing HIM to be the gardener, she said to HIM, 
'Sir, if you have carried HIM away, tell me where you have laid HIM, and I will take HIM away.' 
16 JESUS said to her, 
'Mary!' 
She turned and said to HIM in Hebrew, 
'RABBONI!' (which means, TEACHER). 
17 JESUS said to her, 
'Stop clinging to ME, for I have not yet ascended to THE FATHER; 
but go to MY brethren and say to them, 
‘I ascend to MY FATHER and your FATHER and MY GOD and your GOD.’ 
18 Mary Magdalene came, announcing to the disciples, 
'I have seen THE LORD,'
 and that HE had said these things to her."
