You know, it’s funny. When we read Bible stories, we tend to view the characters as supernatural beings – heroes at the least and almost perfect people close to deities at the most. Neither is probably true. Oh sure, they accomplished heroic deeds and are worthy of admiration, but the truth is they were humans, just like us, with all our foibles and failures, fears, and worries. Maybe it’s time to see them for who they really are and experience what it might have been like to witness firsthand the true Christmas miracle.

This Bible reading plan guides you through the Advent season by focusing on God's promises fulfilled through Scripture. Each day includes Bible reading and a devotion that leads you through God's Word, helping you to reflect on God's faithfulness and the hope of Christmas.
