The Reason for Christmas | Hebrews 2:14-18 | Zach Broom

The Reason for Christmas Hebrews 2:14-18 Zach Broom | December 25, 2022 Why did the Son of God take on flesh and blood? Hebrews 2 directs us beyond the manger to the Savior Who came to free His people from the devil's power, restore them to God, and comfort them in suffering and temptation. Through Christ's death, His work as our merciful High Priest, and His ability to help those who are tempted, we hear the reason for Christmas.
