Favor With God.
Manage episode 409429911 series 3361556
In the announcement of Jesus’ birth in the Gospel of Luke, what stands out is that God singles out Mary for favor as a sheer expression of his will. In biblical terms we can say it’s a “textbook example” of grace. In that she possesses no special prerequisite or qualifications for being chosen, Mary’s election is throughly scriptural: it parallels Noah’s finding favor in the eyes of God (Genesis 6) and Abraham and his descendants receiving the promise of future blessings. Join me in a discussion of Luke 1:24-49, 56.
