In a year labeled in 2020, we thought it would be great to develop a devotional on how we Focus our eyes on Jesus. We will look at five different times the Bible talks about seeing Jesus and the situation. Join us as we step into revealing, powerful and personal encounters with the Savior.

Each day examines pivotal events: His triumphal entry, confrontation in the temple courts, teachings on end times, sacrificial acts of love, submission in Gethsemane, suffering on the cross, and victorious resurrection. Rich insights from Mission 66 episodes highlight His humility, authority, fulfillment of prophecy, and boundless love.
