Hi friends I'm Annie F Downs. Let's read the Gospels. The Gospels are the first four books of the New Testament in the Bible, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These are the stories of Jesus Christ life on earth, the friendships, the parables, the sacrifices, the meals, the miracles.

We're going to read all four books in a month.

It's about three chapters a day, about 20-ish minutes,

and we'll follow the plan that is in

the let's read the Gospels guided journal so we're starting with John then

we're gonna read Luke then Mark then Matthew so go ahead subscribe today and join us as we read the

Gospels together. So here's how this works. I'm going to read three

chapters to you today. You can listen on the podcast, watch on YouTube, read

along in your own Bible, and then I will pray and that is it.

So today is day four and I'll be reading John

chapters 10 through 12 in the new living translation and we are on page 37 of the Let's Read the Gospel's Guided Journal.

John 10, I tell you the truth, anyone who sneaks over the wall of a sheepfold rather than going

through the gate must surely be a thief and a robber. But the one who enters through the gate is a

shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him and the sheep

recognize his voice and come to him. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

After he has gathered his own flock he walks ahead of them and they follow him because they know his voice.

They won't follow a stranger, they will run from him because they don't know his voice.

Those who heard Jesus use this illustration didn't understand what he meant so he explained it to them.

I tell you the truth I am the gate for the sheep all who came before me were thieves

and robbers but the true sheep did not listen to them. Yes, I am the gate.

Those who come in through me will be saved.

They will come and go freely and will find good pastures.
