Read all prophecies about Jesus and then read the gospels before you read any other portion of the scriptures. Look for fulfillments.
Read the gospels first and then the messianic prophecies before reading any other part of the Bible.
Read the Book of Revelation before reading the rest of the Bible to understand its relevance to the entire Bible.
