Good Humor And News








This Pearls Before Swine comic reminds me that humor is important, although not everyone likes puns.  We need humor to help us crack a smile and deal with the bad news of every day. We need to focus on the good news that tends not to get media coverage.  We also need the Good News of Jesus to brighten each day.

Three things Christ promises he will never do: Won’t leave you broken-hearted (Psalm 147:3), won’t reject you (John 6:37), and won’t leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). So in essence, Jesus is…never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and desert you.

Do you know why the gates of heaven are always left open? Cause Jesus was born in a barn.

If Mary gave birth to Jesus and Jesus is the lamb of God…Did Mary have a little lamb?

What did the Tibetan monk say when he saw the face of Jesus in a tub of margarine? “I can’t believe it’s not Buddha.”

What kind of car does Jesus drive? A Christler. Oh no. He drove a Honda. But he didn’t like talking about it. John 12:49: For I did not speak of my own Accord.

Did you know that Jesus was actually crucified for starting fires everywhere? He died for arsons.

Why did Jesus call so many fishermen to become apostles? He was always looking for a net prophet.

If Christ were alive today, how do you know he’d have a huge retirement account? Because Jesus saves.

Jesus and the Devil have a competition. The Devil had enough of Jesus being in the spotlight for so long. He challenged Jesus to compose the longest tale on Microsoft Word and win. Jesus agrees, and they begin. After hours and hours of feverish typing, the power goes out. The Devil is enraged, but Jesus remains calm. As soon as the power is restored, the Devil restarts his computer and loses all of his work, only to see Jesus calmly typing from where he left off. Lucifer is furious, accusing Jesus of being a liar, before God intervenes and declares Jesus the victor. What is the moral of the story? Jesus saves.
