It is said that if Noah's ark had to be built by a company they would not have laid the keel yet and it may be so. What is many men's business is nobody's business. The greatest things are accomplished by individual men.

The verb 'highly favored' (Luke 1:28) is the same as 'made us accepted' in Ephesians 1:6, referring to all of God's children. All true believers have been 'highly graced' by the Lord.
