It’s that time of year again when we all put pen to paper to wish loved ones well with a thoughtful Christmas card. We think Christmas cards can be a wonderful opportunity to share the meaning of Christmas. By including a Bible verse in your message, you’ll not only add a personal touch, but also have an opportunity to reflect on the gift that is Jesus Christ.
Here are a few Bible verses we think would work well inside your Christmas cards this year…
