Advent Readings: From Genesis to Revelation

The promise, fulfillment, and redemptive impact of Christ’s incarnation is seen throughout all of Scripture. We have taken our Advent Readings: From Genesis to Revelation, and created a free e-book for you to read with your family this Christmas. It is available to download in PDF, EPUB, and MOBI formats.

These Advent Readings offer twenty Scripture passages categorized into four key areas of Christ’s incarnation:

  • Promise of the Savior
  • Anticipation of the Savior
  • Birth of the Savior
  • Reflecting on the Savior

Available in the KJV, NKJV, ESV, NIV and CSB versions.

As we enter this Christmas season, our prayer is that you will find joy in the glorious hope our Savior has provided. Merry Christmas!
