Top 5 Verses You Will Never Find on a Christmas Card.

It is Christmas Time again, and we will all be getting/sending Christmas Cards. Many of these cards are written with good intentions of warming the heart with a reflection on God. I have to say I do take issue with many of these cards.  It seems these warm fuzzy Christmas cards don't really highlight the fullness of the God of the Bible, showing us a limited perhaps even distorted attribute of God as reveled in Scripture. So I have made a list of the top five scriptures you will NEVER find on a Christmas Card.  While there are many more that could have made the list like Hebrews 10:31  this should be good enough to get us to reflect on the fullness of God!  Here we go:

 5) Romans 9:14

For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”

 4) Revelation 19:16

"On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords."

Note: This is an image of Jesus as a tattooed warrior king! 

 3) Isaiah 45:7
"I form light and create darkness, I make well-being and create calamity, I am the LORD, who does all these things."

 2)Exodus 15:3

"The LORD is a man of war;
the LORD is his name."

 1)Matthew 10:34

 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword."

Note:  The little baby Jesus grew up and said these words!


 Let us not be lulled to sleep by half truths or distorted images about the God reveled in Scripture during Christmas. Instead let us fully embrace God as he has reveled himself through Scripture. Have a Merry Christmas and praise be to our Holy, Sovereign, Loving God forever and ever amen!
