The real reason for the season
A. Galatians 4:4-7
"God sent forth His Son, born of a woman" (4:4)
"to redeem (pay the price for) those who were under the law" (4:5)
B. Hebrews 2:9-18
1. "that He by the grace of God might taste death for everyone" (2:9)
"that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil". (2:14)
"and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage". (2:15)
2. For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted". (2:18)
