Most often when we think about Christmas, we immediately think of the birth narratives found in the Gospels, as we should. Have you ever thought of Hebrews 8 as a Christmas passage? You certainly should! Hebrews 8 tells us the reason Jesus came to earth — God established a new covenant with His people in Jesus Christ. As you think about Christmas, deepen your understanding of why we celebrate Christmas. We rejoice in the Savior’s birth because He has come and God has established a new covenant with His people so that we might be saved from our sins.
