“Highly Favored”, Part 1 (Luke 1:26-28)
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 12/18/22)
When the angel Gabriel came to Mary to announce the advent of the Christ child, he hailed her as “highly favored.” While this was a high honor, we often gloss over the realities of what it means to be “highly favored.” In this message, we look at the event from the perspective of Mary, and see that her status as “highly favored” did not always feel that way in her life, but ultimately blessed her beyond measure.
