Focused When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, “Woman, behold your son!” Then He said to the disciple, “Behold your mother!” And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.  John 19:26-27 This is a hard scene to look at. Continue reading “Thursday, August 17, 2023”

What will you do? Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, “Behold the Man!” John 19:5 All of the people in Israel knew who Jesus was.  Everyone knew He did miracles and was a teacher with a good message.  Of course, there were manyContinue reading “Tuesday, August 16, 2023”
