Pastor Garry D. Zeigler emphasizes the true meaning of the Christmas season in this message: the celebration of Jesus Christ’s birth and His gift of salvation. Starting with Psalms 23, Pastor Zeigler illustrates the importance of acknowledging Jesus as the Good Shepherd, who meets every need and provides guidance, comfort, and restoration.
He expands on this by delving into other scriptures, such as Isaiah 7:14, which foretells the coming of Emmanuel—God with us—and Isaiah 9:6-7, describing the child born to bring peace and salvation. The message transitions to Luke 1, emphasizing the historical and spiritual accuracy of Jesus’ birth and ministry as documented by Luke, affirming that Christmas is about relationship with God rather than religion.
