START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Luke 1:28
And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
YOU WHO ARE HIGHLY FAVORED / LUKE 1:28
While Mary was in a way favored above all women in being chosen as the mother of Jesus, the New Testament writers never taught nor suggested that she is to be worshiped, prayed to or given special titles. Mary deserves our respect, but only her son is worthy of our worship.
- Note that Mary was chosen because she found favor with God (Genesis 6:8). Her humble and godly life pleased God to such an extent the He chose her for this most important task (2 Timothy 2:21).
- Mary’s blessing would not only bring her great joy, but also much suffering and pain (Luke 2:35) because her Son would be widely rejected and then executed for no fault of His own. In this world, when God calls someone to a specific mission for Him, it will almost always involve blessing and suffering, joy and sadness, successes and disappointments.
