Matthew 4:23 gives a rather all encompassing description of Jesus preaching the gospel as “the gospel of the kingdom”.

It was that gospel of the kingdom that was to be preached in all the earth, Matt. (214:14), with Christ as King and High Priest along with those who would rule with him.

It was that gospel that an angel proclaimed to all those “dwelling on the earth”.

Amen!

I like what Luke says here about the meaning of the gospel...

"And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,

God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee...

Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses." -- Acts 13:32-33,38-39

Good news indeed! Thanks for adding those Scriptures to my far too brief reply.
