On Sunday we began an intense focus on what it means to follow Jesus. In other words, what does it really mean to be his disciple. This series will continue at least through Easter. Obviously if we are to know what it means to be his disciple, we need to know what Jesus was all about. The best way we know that is through the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Between now and Easter, I want to encourage you to read every word of all four Gospels. If you’ve never really sat down to read the Bible like this, it might seem daunting, but you can do it. And I think you’ll really enjoy it—seeing the story of Jesus as whole and not just in scattered bits and pieces. There’s atleast a couple of ways to go about it. One is to read each of the four books in four sittings. Another way is to pace yourself through them. If you choose the latter, the following is a schedule you can follow to get you through them by March 23, Easter Sunday:
The week of:
January 13 Matthew 1-9
January 20 Matthew 10-18
January 27 Matthew 19-28
February 3 Mark 1-8
February 10 Mark 9-16

February 24 Luke 9-16
