Commentary on Luke 1:30
The angel's words 'Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God' address Mary's troubled response to the greeting. The phrase 'found favor' (Greek 'heurēs charin,' εὗρες χάριν) echoes Old Testament language (Noah, Moses, David) of God's electing grace. Mary did not earn this favor through merit—she found it by God's sovereign choice. The Greek 'charis' (χάρις, grace/favor) emphasizes unmerited divine kindness. This greeting establishes that the incarnation proceeds from grace, not human worthiness, making Mary's selection a pure act of divine election.
