Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a Year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of Scripture. The Bible in a Year podcast is brought to you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today. It is day 102, day 102. We're reading today from John chapter 10.
What passages are read today from John and Proverbs?
chapter 11 and chapter 12. We're also jumping into Proverbs chapter 6, the first five verses, Proverbs 6, 1 through 5. As always, I am reading from the Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition of the Bible, and I'm actually using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension.

If you've not yet reviewed it, well, actually, maybe you want to wait to the end of the year. Then you review and say, yeah, 365 days. Here's how it went. Maybe it's too premature to say on day 101, do you have an opinion? I don't know.
I think that's fair. That's definitely fair. Anyways, as I said, today we're reading from John chapter 10, 11, and 12, Proverbs chapter 6, verses 1 through 5.
The Gospel of John, chapter 10, Jesus, the Good Shepherd.
Jesus continued, "'Truly, truly, I say to you, "'he who does not enter at the sheepfold by the door, "'but climbs in by another way, "'that man is a thief and a robber.'" Verse 2. Verse 3. This figure Jesus used with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them. So Jesus again said to them, truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not heed them. I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
He who is a hireling and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hireling and cares nothing for the sheep. I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and my own know me, as the Father knows me, and I know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will heed my voice. So there shall be one flock, one shepherd. For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. No one takes it from me. but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again.
This charge I have received from my father. There was again a division among the Jews because of these words, and many of them said, He has a demon, and he is mad. Why listen to him? Others said, These are not the sayings of one who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind? Jesus is rejected by the Jews. It was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter and Jesus was walking in the temple in the portico of Solomon. So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, how long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly. Jesus answered them, I told you and you do not believe. The works that I do in my father's name, they bear witness to me. But you do not believe because you do not belong to my sheep.
My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me and I give them eternal life and they shall never perish and no one shall snatch them out of my hand. My father who has given them to me is greater than all and no one is able to snatch them out of the father's hand. I and the Father are one. The Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?
