2019 – Advent Bible Reading Plan: Luke’s Christmas Story: One Verse a Day to the Manger

View all the Reading Plans for Advent: From Promise to Fulfillment


Luke’s Christmas Story: One Verse a Day to the Manger is a quiet, steady Advent journey designed to help you walk slowly, intentionally, and reverently through the biblical story of Jesus’s birth. Instead of rushing through long passages, this plan invites you to pause—one verse at a time—and sit with the wonder of how God prepared the world for the arrival of His Son.

The first four days focus on the most significant moments leading up to Jesus’s birth: Gabriel’s announcement, Mary’s calling, her surrender, and God’s assurance that His promise would unfold through her life. After that, the plan moves gently into the full nativity narrative of Luke 2:1–20, offering twenty-one uninterrupted days that follow the journey from decree… to Bethlehem… to the stable… to the angelic proclamation… and finally to the shepherds’ encounter with the newborn Christ.
