Mary’ exam causes a stir~
News of Mary’s masterpiece did indeed quickly sweep across Galilee.
Some Rabbinical scholars says, "How could a women even attain this kind of knowledge of supernatural events? Impossible. Must be a counterfeit."
Other scholars scrutinized the Greek style in which she wrote and declared, "How could a women write in Biblical Greek? Not possible."
The rabbi who gave Mary her exam, wanted the whole world to absorbed the genuis, the divinity within Mary’s work: to see what a remarkably priceless treasure that Mary is.
So, the rabbi not only made her paper available to his Yeshiva, but he made copies of Mary’s exam to be shared among all the neighboring Yeshivas in the neighboring towns: all over Galilee.

As customary on Saturday mornings, Mary & Jesus took their stroll to their favorite reservoir. There they sat down at their favorite hideout. Jesus said to Mary, "Do you know that you are the talk of: all of Galilee?"
Mary’s eyes widened in surprise, "Is this what you were referring to, when you said that I will become known thru-out the world?"
Jesus smiled. "No, Mary. That’s still to come in the future."
"So, what are they talking about?"
"Well, they’re talking about history being made by a women: a women who knows things that can only be learned from the hand of God."
"That’s what they’re saying, Jesus? Wow. If they only knew, huh, how right they are?"
"Yes. But, your paper has caused quite a commotion. Many scholars doubt the authenticity of your paper. They wonder how a women could eve write in the style of Biblical Greek. That was quite a dramatic eye-popping touch on your part, Mary."
Mary mischevously smiled. "Yes, well you know me, Jesus. I wanted to go out with a bang. Give the rabbi something to see."
"You surely succeeded, Mary."
"Jesus, will guys always be jealous of smart women?"
"Many will, yes. So, you just have to pray for them: that they may be open to God’s ways, not man’s way."
"So, Jesus, how do you feel being with someone famous?"
"I’m so honored, Mary, to be a part of your esteem company."
"Ah, Jesus, I couldn’t do anything without you."
Jesus taught her well, didn’t he? Still, she had to be a brilliant woman.

Mary is an amazing vesel of truth of which the Lord had purposely put there and to be born to accompany HIS Son along the way. The actual truth was that the women were not allow to be more than the men themselves and so the women were always to be at the background of the men and not really existing. But why Jesus chose a woman to be His messenger somehow? I wonder … 🙂

For Jesus to pick Mary to be the women who learned from the hand of God has a true gift. A gift that can only be given from our lord himself. Both Jesus and Mary are very special indeed to be chosen.

This must had been the time when Jesus had a little taste of the joy as the true-Man side of him of being in the company Mary, his most honored friend.
