Mankind has now endured the rise and fall of empires, wars, adversity, and death. A new nation was formed by God through the faith of one man, Abraham. That nation was given God’s Laws, a land to live in, and the Promise of a Redeemer.
Within that nation a young virgin is approached by an angel with a message that according to prophecy she would conceive by the Holy Spirit a child and His name would be called Immanuel, which translated means “God with us”. She consented.
Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.
This child from the Virgin is the only direct creation from God since the first man and woman. The Seed of the Woman. The Child was the only begotten Son of God.

The word “gospel” is often said to be the “good news”. Ok, so what’s the news? The news was announced by angels to the shepherds watching their flocks by night: Luke 2:10-11 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
Good tidings is the good news. The gospel is that God has given to us His Son. The Savior is born. Immanuel, God is with us.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Jesus began His ministry announcing His arrival: Mark 1:15 “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.”
