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.

(Luk 1:28 KJV)

Hail, thou highly favoured; the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women – Hail is the salutation used by our Lord to the women after his resurrection: thou art highly favoured, or hast found favour with God, Luk_1:30, is no more than was said of Noah, Moses, and David. The Lord is with thee, was said to Gideon, Jdg_6:12; and blessed shall she be above women, of Jael, Jdg_5:24. This salutation gives no room for any pretence of paying adoration to the virgin; as having no appearance of a prayer, or of worship offered to her. (Wesley’s notes on Luk 1:28 KJV)

 

 

And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

(Luk 1:46-47 KJV)

My spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour – She seems to turn her thoughts here to Christ himself, who was to be born of her, as the angel had told her, he should be the Son of the Highest, whose name should be Jesus, the Saviour. And she rejoiced in hope of salvation through faith in him, which is a blessing common to all true believers, more than in being his mother after the flesh, which was an honour peculiar to her. And certainly she had the same reason to rejoice in God her Saviour that we have: because he had regarded the low estate of his handmaid, in like manner as he regarded our low estate; and vouchsafed to come and save her and us, when we were reduced to the lowest estate of sin and misery. (Wesley’s notes on Luk 1:46-47 KJV)
