The Chronological Christmas Story - 7 Day Bible Reading Plan

When's the last time you've read the Christmas story in the Bible? At this time of year it's something you should definitely do. It's not that long, actually. It's only found in 2 of the 4 Gospels, the Book of Matthew and the Book of Luke. The Book of Mark and the Book of John don't mention the details of the birth of Jesus at all. 

Below is a 7-day Bible reading plan that is in chronological order as far as how the timeline of events occurred. Read it at least once through before Christmas. There are some amazing, miraculous things going on in that story, so take your time and read slowly. Make today Day #1.

The Birth Of John The Baptist Foretold

Day  #2: Read Luke 1:26-56
