Luke 1:42

In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear!

From Background Notes [BN] for December 7^th & 8^th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

Each line that begins with “blessed” focuses on a different person: In the first, Mary is blessed; in the second Jesus is blessed;

in the third (1:45), Elizabeth reflects on her own experience, that “she who believed” (aorist tense, past time) God’s word to her, is also blessed. “Blessed, blessed, blessed!” God blesses His faithful ones who embrace His purpose for the salvation of the world. And in that blessing, He offers them a way beyond fear.  [BN,8]
