0:00.0 | Hi friends. I am Annie F. Downs. Let's read the Gospels. The Gospels are the first four books of the |
0:06.9 | New Testament in the Bible, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. These are the stories of Jesus Christ's |
0:11.7 | life on earth, the friendships, the parables, the sacrifices, the meals, the miracles. Each month, |
0:17.7 | we read all four books. Go ahead and make sure you're subscribed today wherever you're listening. If |
0:22.7 | you get a chance to rate and review the show, that would be awesome. And join us as we read the |
0:27.3 | Gospels together. We are working our way through the book of John. So here's how this works. |
0:32.7 | I read three chapters to you. You can listen. You can read along in your own Bible or online. |
0:37.7 | And then I'll pray. And that's it. So today is April 12th, day 12. And I will be reading John |
0:44.0 | chapters 10 through 12. And this month, I am reading from the message. |
0:51.4 | John 10. Let me set this before you as plainly as I can. |

1:07.2 | gatekeeper opens the gate to him and the sheep recognize his voice. He calls his own sheep by name |
1:12.8 | and leads them out. When he gets them all out, he leads them and they follow because they are |
1:17.7 | familiar with his voice. They won't follow a stranger's voice, but will scatter because they |
1:22.5 | aren't used to the sound of it. Jesus told this simple story, but they had no idea what he was |
1:27.9 | talking about. So he tried again. I'll be explicit then. I am the gate for the sheep. All those |
1:34.7 | others are up to no good sheep wrestlers, every one of them, but the sheep didn't listen to them. |
1:40.3 | I am the gate. Anyone who goes through me will be cared for, will freely go in and out and find |
1:46.1 | pasture. A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they could have real |
1:52.5 | and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of. I am the good shepherd. |
1:59.3 | The good shepherd puts the sheep before himself, sacrifices himself if necessary. A hired man is not |
