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 293: JESUS is THE LORD... PEACE... LORD... GRACE... THE LORD JESUS... CHRIST JESUS...

 


1 Corinthians 16:1-24

Now about the collection for THE LORD’s people: 

Do what I told the Galatian churches to do. 

On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with your income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made. 

Then, when I arrive, I will give letters of introduction to the men you approve and send them with your gift to Jerusalem. 

If it seems advisable for me to go also, they will accompany me.

After I go through Macedonia, I will come to you—for I will be going through Macedonia. 

Perhaps I will stay with you for a while, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go. 

For I do not want to see you now and make only a passing visit; I hope to spend some time with you, if THE LORD permits. 

But I will stay on at Ephesus until Pentecost, 

because a great door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many who oppose me.

10 When Timothy comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is carrying on the work of THE LORD, just as I am. 

11 No one, then, should treat him with contempt. Send him on his way in PEACE so that he may return to me. I am expecting him along with the brothers.

12 Now about our brother Apollos: I strongly urged him to go to you with the brothers. He was quite unwilling to go now, but he will go when he has the opportunity.

13 Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. 

14 Do everything in love.

15 You know that the household of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of THE LORD’s people. I urge you, brothers and sisters, 

16 to submit to such people and to everyone who joins in the work and labors at it. 

17 I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus arrived, because they have supplied what was lacking from you. 

18 For they refreshed my spirit and yours also. Such men deserve recognition.

19 The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in THE LORD, and so does the church that meets at their house. 

20 All the brothers and sisters here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

21 I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand.

22 If anyone does not love THE LORD, let that person be cursed! Come, LORD!

23 The GRACE of THE LORD JESUS be with you.

24 My love to all of you in CHRIST JESUS. Amen.
