[Dr. Eckleburg]

Mary was made accepted by God. She was just like us, but as part of the miracle of the Incarnation, God made her accepted to conceive, carry, and birth Jesus.

Amen. You said it much better than I did.

And just as God made Mary accepted, so does the righteousness of Jesus Christ make all of us accepted to God, by His grace alone.

Accepted, justified, sanctified, purified- just like Mary was; and not of ourselves, as it was not of herself. Given grace- not an abstract power, but God's Mercy at Christ's expense. Faith in that wonderful God's atoning power allows us to call Him, "Savior" - just like Mary did.

Goodnight my friend.
