Incarnation 

Why does Christmas matter to Christians? 

Christians believe that Jesus is God and that he was born as a baby in Bethlehem. 

The Bible points out that his birth showed that he was extraordinary (for example, he is worshipped as a king, in Matthew) and that he came to bring good news (for example, to the poor, in Luke). 

Christians celebrate Jesus’ birth; Advent for Christians is a time of getting ready for Jesus’ coming.
