This episode looks at Luke 1:30, “And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.” Mary’s humble response in verse 29 only serves to highlight the axiom that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. God has poured out his grace upon Mary, not because she has done great things to deserve it but instead because she knows how low she is compared to the most high God. May we have similar hearts that ask for humility so that we can stand in the pathway of grace.
