Matt 1:21 . . He shall save his people from their sins.

The word "save" is from the koiné Greek word sozo (sode'-zo) which basically means to rescue and/or protect. Rescuers typically provide their services to desperate people who are thoroughly incapable of getting themselves out of overwhelming difficulties; e.g. Firemen, Emergency Medical teams, snow patrols, mountain units, and the Coast Guard and National Guard.

"his people" refers to the Jews.

Heb 2:16-17 . . Assuredly he does not give help to angels, but he gives help to the descendants of Abraham. Therefore, he had to be made like his brethren in all things, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

Baby Jesus didn't descend from Aaron, so his high priesthood would not be in accord with the covenant that Moses' people agreed upon with God as per Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Jesus' high priesthood would be in accord with a Gentile high priest; in point of fact, baby Jesus' high priesthood would be in accord with a man whose ethnic identity isn't known, nor is anything known about his family or his ancestors.

The boy was to become a high priest in accord with a man that the Jews have heard of, but never actually seen for themselves. His name is Melchizedek; mentioned way back in the past in association with Abraham. (Gen 14:18-20, Ps 110:1-4, Heb 6:20-7:22)

Now, unless "his people" extends all the way back to Abraham, then the rescue referred to in Matt 1:21 would be limited to some of his people but not all. But according to Isa 53:6, it's all; which is a tremendous improvement over Aaron's high priesthood. His isn't retroactive that far back. It only extends to the year of the installation of the covenant that Moses' people agreed upon with God as per the books of the covenant. (Deut 5:2-4)

Another big improvement is that Aaron couldn't save his people from their sins; he could only offer atonements for them; while Mary's boy would both atone and save.
