Reason for the season

"This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His  mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together,  she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit Because Joseph her  husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace,  he had in mind to divorce her quietly. But after he had considered this, an  angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do  not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her  is from the Holy Spirit She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him  the name Jesus, because he will save  his people from their sins."
Matthew 1:18-21 NIV

"In him was life, and that life  was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not  understood it" 
John 1:4-5  NIV

I'm the reason for the  season ~ The good news  is that God has come to save us.
~ Gospel =  Good news
~ Greek  for good news  =   (euaggelion)
~ Stolen from Caesar  Augustus

1. Euaggelion= Label for  Caesar's reign
2. Caesar was declared a deity.
3. Caesar was seen as the finial solution to world government.

"This is the  Good News about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God..."
Mark 1:1  NLT

Good News =  "...he will save his people from their  sins."
