Why does Christmas matter? Beyond tradition and nostalgia, Scripture presents the birth of Jesus as a real event in history with eternal significance. Hebrews 2 gives us God’s explanation for the incarnation—why the Son of God took on flesh. Writing to believers tempted to drift, the author points us to four reasons Jesus came: to be our substitute, to supply our righteousness, to conquer sin, death, and the devil, and to become our merciful and faithful help. From the manger to the cross and the empty tomb, this message reminds us that Christmas cannot be separated from the gospel. Jesus did not come merely to inspire, but to save, calling us to move beyond sentimentality and to “consider Jesus.”
