A Musical of Joy
By-Miya Braker
This Musical of Joy is actually called, “The Journey to Bethlehem.” This is a really good movie if your looking for catchy songs and a story that will change your life. This Movie shows what Mary and Joseph went through on their journey to Bethlehem. You can watch this movie on Prime Video, Apple TV, or Vudu. I really recommend it.
The catchy songs in this movie make it better than most others. “When We Become We” is a song featuring when they get married at Mary’s cousin’s house, after Zaciriah pronounces them husband and wife. They go into their own world and dance together. This song also has lots of harmony and melody. The Journey to Bethlehem also has a song called “In My Blood” featuring King Herod’s son who is the Antipater. He sings this song because he tries to figure out if he’s like his father. His father is king and wants to kill Mary and Joseph’s baby. “Good to be King” features King Herod showing off why he likes to be king and what he thinks the rules are for that.
This movie is rated PG specifically for age 8 and up. This movie is about how Mary gave birth to Jesus. One night, Mary was awaken by Gabriel, an angel of the Lord. He told her she would give birth to the Son of God. Her parents thought she made love with another man so they sent her to Hebron, her cousin Elizabeth’s house. She stayed there until Joseph, her betrothed, came and told her his dream. Later they got married through Zacariah Elizabeth’s husband or the persist.
In the bible, the book of Matthew 1:18-20, explains how Jesus was born. “This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about : His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph, her husband, was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
This movie has great reviews and I really recommend it. You should watch this movie because it’s a family friendly movie or a “Musical of Joy!”
