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 146: JESUS is GOD... THE SON OF MAN... LORD OF THE SABBATH...

pray all night

Luke 6:1-19


"Now it happened that HE was passing through some grain fields on a Sabbath; and HIS disciples were picking the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating the grain. 
But some of the Pharisees said, 
'Why do you do what is not lawful on the Sabbath?' 
And JESUS answering them said, 
'Have you not even read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him, 
how he entered the house of GOD, and took and ate the consecrated bread which is not lawful for any to eat except the priests alone, and gave it to his companions?' 
And HE was saying to them, 'THE SON OF MAN is LORD OF THE SABBATH.'

On another Sabbath HE entered the synagogue and was teaching; and there was a man there whose right hand was withered. 
The scribes and the Pharisees were watching HIM closely to see if HE healed on the Sabbath, so that they might find reason to accuse HIM. 
But HE knew what they were thinking, and HE said to the man with the withered hand, 
'Get up and come forward!'
And he got up and came forward. 
And JESUS said to them, 
'I ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to destroy it?” 
10 After looking around at them all, HE said to him, 
'Stretch out your hand!' 
And he did so; and his hand was restored. 
11 But they themselves were filled with rage, and discussed together what they might do to JESUS.

12 It was at this time that HE went off to the mountain to pray, and HE spent the whole night in prayer to GOD. 
13 And when day came, HE called HIS disciples to HIM and chose twelve of them, whom HE also named as apostles: 
14 Simon, whom HE also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James and John; and Philip and Bartholomew; 
15 and Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot; 
16 Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
17 JESUS came down with them and stood on a level place; and there was a large crowd of HIS disciples, and a great throng of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon, 
18 who had come to hear HIM and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were being cured. 
19 And all the people were trying to touch HIM, for power was coming from HIM and healing them all."
