“Greetings, you who are highly favoured! The Lord is with you.”
Do those words ring a bell? If an angel of the LORD spoke those words to you, would you believe them?
Finding favour with God – isn’t that something we all long for? But sometimes we might wonder whether it’s even possible.
These words are not just addressed to Mary, but to you and me… and to every person you know! The Son Mary carries will bring God’s favour to all! At the cross, her Son will carry all our blame – so we can be forgiven and brought into a right relationship with God. Through his resurrection, we are given a hope and a future in God’s restoration story for his world.
