The Married Jesus

I guess we can be thankful that Mr. Brown made Jesus a married man instead of
an adulterer or fornicator. If he had children they weren't bastards. Jesus’
claim to fame was his sinless ness making it possible to be a perfect sacrifice
for our sins. Marriage and having children in wedlock were honorable. At least
he wasn't shacking up with Mary Magdalene. This made her following him and a
group of men more respectable. So if he was married he was sinless, (unless of
course, Mr. Brown's line of reasoning is that giving into the temptation of
marriage was a sin, making us all sinners, if so I'm ready to repent)
Apparently Mary and Jesus agreed
on everything. There didn't seem to be any marital discord. No spousal
arguments over finances or sex are mentioned. These things would have been
under public scrutiny. She didn't ask Jesus if she could have the check book,
she let Judas carry it. He didn't fuss at her about wasting money on expensive
oils to wash his feet. He wasn't stingy. No fights about toilet seats left up,
or bras over the shower stall. She didn't whine about not having a permanent
home or him not getting a steady job.” You’re a carpenter, can't you just preach
on weekends like everyone else!" She supported his campaign to announce the
kingdom of God. Unlike Job's wife she didn't tell him to stop praising God for
his upcoming death. She didn't say, things like, "Think about me, don't go.
Sinners aren't worth your dying for when you have me". Or, "I can't raise a kid
by myself!" She stood behind her man(or knelt in front of him when she had to
wash his feet). She didn't complain about his staying out late all night with
the boys in prayer,(she didn't say, "Sure, that's all you did last night, I
smell wine on your breath!). She let him go on his fishing trips without
grumbling. He didn't accuse her of cheating on him with one of the twelve and
she wasn't jealous of his friendship with Mary and Martha(apparently two
unmarried women living with their brother, they must have been awfully
ugly).They didn't have in-law problems, she had the perfect mother-in -law and
she wouldn't dare complain about her father-in-law! He didn't quiz her about
her activities when he came back to the camp ground. They didn't talk about
each other, (this is obvious from the lack of information about them in the
bible) He didn't expect her to cook for all his friends. The last supper was
prepared by the disciples(Luke 22:12-13). They obviously weren't Baptists
because she was sitting at the table with him. (p.s. The painting wasn't taken
from a photo.) Baptist women serve the men first and eat in the kitchen
afterwards. She stayed with him as he died. Most men whine when they have a
cold and drive us wives from the room. He didn't. She referred to her husband
as "Lord", (John 20:13) when looking for him on that first Easter Sunday so she
had the right perspective of who wore the pants in marriage. He looked for her
after he rose so he wouldn't be in the dog house for going to see the guys
first (dog houses back then looked like caves with stones rolled in front of
them) . Great love there. She was number one in his life, (after God and the
rest of the world.) And her love for him was so great she never remarried. How
could she find someone better than Jesus. Oh, wait, you couldn't remarry as
long as your spouse was still living or does a three day intermission null and
void a contract?
So if Jesus was married it was a perfect marriage. Thanks Mr. Brown for not
trying to look for the marital dirt.
