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 192: JESUS is GOD... JESUS CHRIST... LORD OF ALL... JESUS OF NAZARETH... THE ONE... JUDGE OF THE LIVING AND THE DEAD... FORGIVENESS OF SINS...



No Favorities" Sermon by Pastor Betsy Perkins - First Baptist ...

JESUS CHRIST 

for all people!


Acts 10:33-48

Gentiles Hear Good News

34 Opening his mouth, Peter said:
“I most certainly understand now that GOD is not one to show partiality, 
35 but in every nation the one who fears HIM and does what is right is welcome to HIM. 
36 THE WORD which HE sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace through JESUS CHRIST  (HE is LORD OF ALL)— 
37 you yourselves know the thing which took place throughout all Judea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism which John proclaimed. 
38 You know of JESUS OF NAZARETH, how GOD anointed HIM with THE HOLY SPIRIT and with power, and how HE went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for GOD was with HIM. 

39 We are witnesses of all the things HE did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They also put HIM to death by hanging HIM on a cross. 
40 GOD raised HIM up on the third day and granted that HE become visible, 
41 not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen beforehand by GOD, that is, to us who ate and drank with HIM after HE arose from the dead. 
42 And HE ordered us to preach to the people, and solemnly to testify that this is THE ONE WHO has been appointed by GOD as JUDGE OF THE LIVING AND THE DEAD. 
43 Of HIM all the prophets bear witness that through HIS name everyone who believes in HIM receives FORGIVENESS OF SINS.'
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, THE HOLY SPIRIT fell upon all those who were listening to the message. 
45 All the circumcised believers who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of THE HOLY SPIRIT had been poured out on the Gentiles also. 
46 For they were hearing them speaking with tongues and exalting GOD. Then Peter answered, 
47 'Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized who have received THE HOLY SPIRIT just as we did, can he?” 
48 And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of  JESUS CHRIST. Then they asked him to stay on for a few days."

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT:
If you are in a burning building and someone says, 
"The building is on fire!"
Your response is probably,
"I believe you, what should I do... where should I go?!?!?!"
What would you do next?  
Hopefully, take action and get moving.

If you are in a burning life style and someone says, 
"Your life is a mess... you are going to burn in hell fire... you need JESUS!"
Your response is probably,
"I believe you!  What should I do?"
So, what would you do next?  
Hopefully, take action and get moving, 
by understanding and following through with what verses 42-48 say.
