Going deeper...to go further

Daily Bible reading strengthens our relationship with God, nourishes our spirits and equips us to live a fruitful, effective life for Him.

This month we're looking at scriptures which talk about Jews and Gentiles alongside a passage about love. The first scripture each day follows this outline: 
Days 1-6 - The Foundation & the Prophets
Days 7-10 - Jesus and the Nations
Days 11-19 - The Early Church & the Gentiles
Days 20-30 - God’s Plan for Jews and Gentiles United in Christ
Day 31 - The Final Reminder of God’s Global Kingdom. As we read the Word it’s important that we apply what we read and pray it out over our lives. One of the way you can do this is by using the acronym SOAP. To find out more about SOAP watch this video.

Below you’ll see what we’re reading today. To go forward or back a day in our reading plan use the 'Next' and 'Previous' buttons.

John 10:1-16

The Gate for the sheep1"I tell you the truth," Jesus continued, "anyone who climbs into the sheep pen instead of entering by the gate is a thief and a robber.2But the man who goes in through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.3The one guarding the sheep opens the gate for him and the sheep know his voice.4He calls each of his own sheep by name and leads them out of the pen. Because they recognise his voice, all who are his sheep follow him when he goes ahead of them.5They would never follow a stranger because they do not know his voice; instead, they will run from him."6When Jesus used this illustration the people did not understand what He meant. So He explained:7"I tell you the truth, I, I AM the Gate for the sheep.8All those who came before Me were thieves and robbers; so the sheep did not listen to them.9I, I AM the Gate. Whoever enters through Me will be saved from a life of sin and become one of My sheep. He will be able to go in and come out and will always find sufficient pasture.10"The purpose of the thief, the devil, is to steal, kill and destroy. But I have come to give the fullness of God's life to those who believe in Me.The Good Shepherd11"I, I AM the Good Shepherd, the One who gives His life for those who are His sheep.12The one who is only hired to do a job is not like the shepherd who owns the sheep. When the wolf comes to attack the sheep, the hired hand flees and abandons the sheep.13He runs because he is only a hired hand and does not really care for the sheep.14-15"I, I AM the Good Shepherd; I know each of My sheep and they know Me, in the same way that the Father knows Me and I know the Father. What is more, I am ready to die for My sheep.16"I have other sheep that are not of this particular sheep pen. I must gather them in as well, for they also will respond to My voice. However, there shall only be one flock, belonging to one Shepherd.

Ephesians 2:3-5

3All of us at one time shared in that ungodly lifestyle, longing to satisfy our flesh. We all sought to gratify our fleshly desires and sin filled much of our thinking. Just like everybody else, we were subjects of God's anger because of our sinful disposition.4-5Despite all this, because of His great love for us, God who is so rich in mercy actually brought us to life with Christ, even when we were spiritually dead because of our sins. What a wonderful work of His grace to save us out of the death and darkness of sin, out of the hands of the evil one we once served!
