The Christmas season is filled with excitement, but Advent invites us to slow down, reflect, and prepare our hearts for Jesus. One of the simplest and most meaningful ways to do that is with Advent Scripture cards—daily reminders of hope, peace, joy, and love that lead us closer to Christ as Christmas approaches.
These printable Advent verse cards make it easy to create your own countdown at home. Just print them on cardstock, cut them out, and use them in your Advent calendar, hang them with twine, or place them in a jar to draw one each day.
