Isaiah 41:27 (NLT2) I was the first to tell Zion, ‘Look! Help is on the way!’ I will send Jerusalem a messenger with good news.
Euangelion (which we call gospel) is a Greek word, and signifies good, merry, glad, and joyful tydings, that makes a mans heart glad, and makes him sing, dance, and leap for joy. -- William Tyndale (c. 1494-1536)
