Bible Question:
At work today the question was raised did Mary and Joseph know who Jesus really was? In Luke chapter 2 verse 19 it states that Mary pondered in her heart the things the wise men told.Later in verse 33 when Simeon told of things Mary and Joseph marveled at those things. Then in verses41-52 the telling of him teaching in the temple at age 12. When she ask why he done this and that they had been seeking him,he said "How is it ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? They understood not what he was saying.But Mary keept all these sayings in her heart. Did they not know or did they just not understand? Any and all insights are welcome. God bless, Remodeled |
Bible Answer: Remodeled: Luke 1:26 to56 is pretty clear Mary knew right away. Matthew 1:18 to 25 says more about Joseph. I am sure as Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, Mary and Joseph had to be confused. Who has ever had a perfect child? Who could imagine having such a child, say nothing about knowing how to parent the SON of the HOLY GOD? For me it is unthinkable to grasp what they went through. I would ponder at things a lot, myself. I believe They knew, but learned more as time went on. That's my thoughts and what I gleam from scripture. What do you think? agape, justme |
