7 Christmas Bible Verses for Your Holiday Cards

Of the 1.6 billion Christmas cards that get sent annually, those that contain scripture will typically have one of these seven verses either as part of the greeting, or printed at the bottom or left side of the card:

1. Isaiah 7:14

“Therefore, the Lord himself shall give you a sign; The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and she shall call him Immanuel.”

In the Old Testament, the prophets often spoke of the birth of Jesus. This passage in Isaiah tells exactly how the Messiah was going to be born.

2. Matthew 1:21

"She will give birth to a son and will give him the name Jesus, for he will save us from our sins.”

The good news was spreading quickly throughout Bethlehem and the surrounding areas. God sent His Angels, and visitors from far and wide came to see the newborn Savior.

3. John 1:14

“The Word became flesh and made his home among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, sent by the Father, full of truth and glory.”

There are several excellent Christmas Bible verses in the Book of John. This one really depicts how God's word became flesh with the birth of Christ. John chapter 3 reveals the true meaning of his birth.

4. Matthew 2:9-10

“Behold, the star they saw when it rose, went ahead of them until it came to rest over where the child slept. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding joy.”

This passage is a popular one for Christmas cards because of the reference to the star that led the wise men and shepherds to where Jesus was born. The star brought so much hope to those who knew of the prophecies of Christ's birth. This was a long-awaited time, and the star was there to finally relay the good news of great joy.

5. Matthew 2:1-2

“After Jesus was born in the days of King Herod in Bethlehem of Judea, behold, wise men came from the east to Jerusalem, saying, ‘Where is the king of the Jews? For we saw his star and have come to worship him.’”

This passage is perfect for Christmas cards featuring the wise men who brought gifts to Jesus. To really personalize the card, if you have a picture of a member of your family playing any character in the nativity scene, you can include that in your photo holiday card.

6. Luke 2:10

“And the angel said to them, ‘Fear not, for behold, I come with good tidings of great joy.’”

This Bible verse is one you will often see on Christmas cards because it captures the entire meaning of the season in a few words. It's short and sweet and straight to the Christmas point.

7. John 3:16

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall never perish but have eternal life.”

This verse is one of the most well-known verses in the Bible. It tells of the sacrificial gift God gave to His people to offer eternal life. That’s what makes an excellent choice for your holiday cards. It captures the true nature of the season.
