I know Jesus was serious. He did have his moments though where he enjoyed feasts and had wine for celebrating.he must have been a funny guy too as well as a messiah.
My fave passage when was Jesus said about the camel going through the eye of a needle. I tried to imagine his face afterwards with his diciples and how they must have laughed.
What passage make you think Jesus had a sense of humour?
OK........... Found only in the book of Mark, he jokingly renamed James and John (who were brothers) with the title "Boanerges" (Mark 3:17, KJV). This nickname means "sons of thunder" or "sons of commotion." It was no doubt given as a humorous recognition of their sometimes misplaced and impulsive behavior.
In his famous Sermon on the Mount, Jesus exercised his humor when he stated, "Why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but pay no attention to the log in your own eye? . . . First take the log out of your own eye . . ." (Luke 6:41 - 42)
A small child reading the above verses would laugh at the idea of a man with a big wood beam in his eye trying to find something small on another person. Literally, these verses appear ludicrous and silly, which is exactly the point! He is using a funny, exaggerated analogy to teach humility and that we ought not to pick on the tiny flaws we see in others.
Jesus shows us his sense of humor, early in his ministry, soon after he calls Philip. When Philip tells Nathanael that the Messiah has been found he sarcastically replies, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" (John 1:46).
Good, clean humor celebrates the goodness of God. It is the key component to joy, one of the primary attributes of the Holy Spirit which proceeds from our Father (Galatians 5:22 - 23). The Christian walk should be a joyful one.
Do YOU know how I know that God has a sense of humor???????????
I look in the mirror!
