Question:
Considering that Mother Mary was pregnant before she got married to Saint Joseph, what happened that changed the community’s perception? Why did they see You as someone special and not a “bastard child.”?
God’s answer:
The visit of the three kings
This is the second meaning to the sculpture about the kings, with the message:
They followed the signs. There was an anomaly. Their visit was a public declaration that Jesus was indeed a divine child.
Question:
But this event happened in Bethlehem - You grew up in Nazareth.
What I’m hearing is that there were others who were also from Nazareth who
went to Bethlehem with you.
God’s answer:
Compatriots
They relayed the story
Compatriot means “a fellow citizen or national of a country”. 14
Question:
If this became known then why is it in several of the Gospels, it is
written that there were comments made that you are just the son of the
carpenter – example: The Jews murmured about him because he said, “I am
the bread that came down from heaven,” and they said, “Is this not Jesus, the
son of Joseph? Do we not know his father and mother? Then how can he say,
‘I have come down from heaven’?” (John 6:41-42)
God’s answer:
old news
It died down.
