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 131: JESUS is PEACE... THE LORD... MY LORD AND MY GOD...

Blessed are Those Who Have Not Seen and Yet Have Believed (John 20 ...


John 20:19-29 

19 "So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, JESUS came and stood in their midst and said to them, 
'PEACE be with you.'
20 And when HE had said this, HE showed them both HIS hands and HIS side. The disciples then rejoiced when they saw THE LORD. 
21 So JESUS said to them again, 
'PEACE be with you; as THE FATHER has sent ME, I also send you.' 
22 And when HE had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, 
'Receive the HOLY SPIRIT. 
23 If you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained.'
24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when JESUS came. 
25 So the other disciples were saying to him, 
'We have seen THE LORD!' 
But he said to them, 
'Unless I see in HIS hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into HIS side, I will not believe.”
26 After eight days HIS disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. 
JESUS came, the doors having been shut, and stood in their midst and said, 
PEACE be with you.'
27 Then HE said to Thomas, 
'Reach here with your finger, and see MY hands; 
and reach here your hand and put it into MY side; 
and do not be unbelieving, but believing.' 
28 Thomas answered and said to HIM, 
'MY LORD AND MY GOD!' 
29 JESUS said to him, 
'Because you have seen ME, have you believed? 
Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.'
