Found Favor - Luke 1:28-33

Luke 1:28-33 ESV 
And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”

Like Mary, we are also favored by the Lord, for He is with us. We have received the favor of God through His mercy and presence in our lives. 

Eve conceived a man with the help of the Lord. Mary conceived the Son of the Most High with the help of the Lord. 

With the help of the Lord we transform into the being God saw from the beginning. We were lost, but we've been found. 

We will share in His kingdom which will have no end. We will serve as priests and kings to the Lord Most High.
