Episode description
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.
