Christmas Bible Reading Plan – 12 Days, Free Printable

Christmas is a season filled with lights, traditions, and celebrations. But if we’re honest, it’s also a season filled with noise, busyness, and distractions that can pull our hearts away from what matters most. That’s why this Christmas Bible Reading Plan is so important—it helps us pause, open God’s Word, and focus on the true meaning of Christmas: Jesus Christ, our Savior.

This free Bible reading plan will walk you through Scriptures that highlight the promises of God, the birth of Jesus, and the hope of His coming again. It’s designed to prepare your heart for worship and deepen your joy this Christmas season.

What Is This Christmas Bible Reading Plan About?

This plan is more than a checklist of verses—it’s a guide to help you encounter Jesus in Scripture throughout December. Inside, you’ll find passages that cover three powerful themes:

✨ Prophecies Jesus Fulfilled – Old Testament promises pointing to the Messiah, fulfilled in His birth and life.
✨ Prophecies Yet to Come – The hope of Jesus’ second coming and God’s eternal plan of redemption.
✨ The Work in Our Hearts Today – Scriptures that remind us that Christ is alive and active, transforming us daily.

As you follow this plan, you’ll not only reflect on the story of Jesus’ birth—you’ll also experience the hope, peace, and joy He brings to every believer.

How to Use the Reading Plan

Here are a few simple ways to make the most of this Christmas Bible Reading Plan:

• Set aside a quiet moment each day – Whether in the morning or evening, use this time to meet with God.
• Read the verses slowly – Ask the Holy Spirit to show you new truths, even in familiar passages.
• Journal your reflections – Write down what stands out, prayers on your heart, or ways you see Jesus at work.
• Pray through the Scriptures – Turn God’s Word back into prayer, thanking Him for His promises.
