Joking Jesus? :) by Nobody: 12:06am On Nov 16, 2012
Did our Lord ever crack a joke? Have fun? Take a load off? In short, does God have a sense of humor at all?

I say He sure as heck does. cheesy What say you?

he doesn't need to crack a joke. He is a joke.

The image of him calling himself a prince truimphantly entering Jerusalem while on the back of a donkey, followed by 12 men in dresses, cracks me up.

Oh I know you know He's no joke. But He's incredible at practical jokes! Like in the example you gave. grin

No doubt, His hatred for sin is an infinite one, or rather His Love for righteousness is non-negotiable and uncompromising. Same thing turned one-eighty degrees. smiley But this very thing is the reason that He can afford to be jovial and at ease in Christ! Outside of Christ, God is at war.

Jesus was a very serious person...he took his mission on earth very serious, he never laughed, he never joked...his growing up days may have been filled with jokes and fun...but the bible didn't record it.

Yes...can you provide a passage where Jesus laughed or joked...

Really...I never meant to...but its the truth.

Really...I never meant to...but its the truth.

We all read the Bible through our own eyes. What we see in it is colored by our perception of the Lord. This is why it is said that only the spiritual discern spiritual things.

I can't think of one place where Jesus was recorded to have laughed or consciously cracked a joke. But relax a bit, assume you were not in a death-match with sin and read Him say things like "unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood . . ." Or, like in the story advocate666 referred to, telling His disciples to go get Him a donkey and tell anyone who asked that the Master had need for it.

Because the Lord is currently at work/war, His "funny face" seems to just not be there. But in any given issue where Christ's Lordship has been fully established in a person's life, oh my!, the Lord is a wonderful buddy to roll with.
