FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER First Reading: Acts 2:14a, 36-41 With great authority, Peter proclaims to the people that the Christ who was crucified is indeed the Messiah. Urging them to reform and be baptized in the name of Christ, three thousand responded to his words and were baptized. Second Reading: 1 Peter 2:20b-25 This is a strong exhortation from Peter to the people to endure suffering for Christ as he did for them. Healed by his wounds, they have returned to the shepherd. Gospel: John 10:1-10 Christ uses the beautiful image of the shepherd to describe his care for his sheep. He also says he is the sheepgate and promises that Whoever enters through me will be safe.
