Is the Christmas Holidays about giving and getting presents? Have we lost its real purpose? The Reverend Ernst R. Pflug, Pastor of the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in Flushing, NY presents a "First Person" message from the Old Testament prophet, Zechariah, based on Zechariah 9:9. God so loved the world that He sent his Son first to be born among us and then die for mankind's sins. God forgives and guarantees our salvation if we only truly believe both in the birth and resurrection of his Son, Jesus Christ. Christmas is a time to remember God's greatest gift to man, his Son.
