FREE ESSAY ON MARY: MOTHER OF JESUS

MARY: MOTHER OF JESUS

In the movie that we saw during class was about Mary, Mother of Jesus. The following essay
will answer the question of Mary's understanding of her role and her understanding of who

Jesus was and who he was going to be.
Mary, at times in this movie was extremely confused about things that were happening to
her. For example, the first time that God talked to her she was confused; she didn't know
what 
was going on. Mary had no clue whether to ignore the voice or believe it. Another example
was when Mary was at the Inn giving birth to Jesus. God spoke to Mary and told her to
name her son 
Jesus. And now with her faith in God, she was no longer confused about who was speaking
to her and what she had to do. With this newly found faith in God's plans for her son she
trusted the 
sheppards that came to see her. With the sheppards telling Mary that they had been told
by God to visit a newborn child who was going to be the King of the Jews. I think at this
time Mary was 
certain that Jesus was the Son of God and was going to be different.
Mary, as well as Jesus, was different from other people because she understood what Jesus
was saying ( or doing ) when others had no idea what he was saying ( or doing .) I thinnk

that Mary was an interpreter for God who translated what Jesus was doing, so others could
understand. For example, when Jesus arose from the grave. Mary and everyone else 
immediately knew that he was truly the Son of God. So, Mary had to interpret that the
Apostles were to spread the teachings of Jesus to all. Also, when Jesus was in the temple
and Joseph got 
made at him for not telling anyone where he went; Jesus said Where else would I be except
for my father's house. The 2 other people their had no idea what that meant, except for
Mary. Mary 
knew that Jesus was the Son of God who was trying to teach to the others that God thinks
of everyone as his son or daughter. 
In conclusion, Mary understood her role as well as the understanding of who Jesus was
because she had faith and trust in God.
