Of Christ & Humour
FriendA: what games do u think Jesus played with his disciples?
FriendA: paul played with timothy?
FriendB: PAUL??? PLAY????Gawd. .*sirens**calling for backup. . .we
have a heretic on our hands… !
FriendA: seriously, ever thought abt that?
FriendB: sure!@!! gee weez…who do you think invented humour?
FriendA: for me the most “funnest” thing ever is when i worship and pray and get swept into his tangible felt presence …
FriendA: but i think humour is a result of our fall
FriendB: hmm… tats somethign to think about.but God makes me laugh a lot..
and I kinda figure that He who created
languages and made certain words mean the same thig nor sound the same
had puns in His mind when he put em
together…
FriendB: He’s a father.and we’re His children…Ive often thought. .in human
terms…what age would the heavenly
fathersee His earthly children..
FriendA: humour usually happens when 2 issues contradict unexpectedly, catches us
by surprise = super funny, but since
there are no contradictions b4 the fall – no humour, cos its ALL joy
anyway …
FriendB: I’ve always thought ofBIG father and a little kid.. .and you know how
fathers relate to little kids?…play.
FriendB: no contradictions?but also no perfect knowledge…so ‘surprises’ will
definately still happen
FriendA: i see what u mean. … i asked God to show me how He is funny abt 3 years
ago, since then He’s been showing me my
‘true self’ ever since … my own unbelief makes me laugh, in contrast with
how faithful awesome and trustworthy
He is …
FriendB: i dont see humour as that to be honest.
FriendA: how so ? …
FriendA: i want a deeper revelation of God as my playful daddy
FriendB: to me humour is not cynicism…neither is it a response to imperfection…
not a distinction between good
and bad but rather.. . a higher form of response..much like silence.. or
music..that allows us to connect with
the creator in some higherplane..
FriendB: well
I think that comes from comin to him as a little child saying
’Daddy..I wuv you’
FriendA: ya, cynicism is right …
FriendA: you are right
FriendA: i meant cynicism is wrong
FriendA: but u are right abt my cynicism
FriendB: God being the gracious father will respond as we need Him to..and He
will NEVER inappropriately respond..
so when we come to himas anangsty teeanger .. he will be the patient
loving mentor…if we come to him with
an agenda.. he will be the undertsanding boss…
FriendB: but deep down in every father’s heart..I think..he always wants his
little boy/girlto run up to him. crawl
up to his lap, put his arms around his neck and snuggle up close to him
simply because..hes ‘ daddy’.
FriendA: Yup. I Love my daddy =)
FriendA: OH! *revelation!!! that makes you – my brother!!!
FriendA: lol
FriendB: *gasp..it does indeed..wow.
FriendA: thanx bro. much needed conversation.
FriendA: you have just in a short few lines inspire me to want to spend much needed
quality time with my Daddy.
FriendA: been seeking affirmations in all the wrong places
FriendA: Praise God for u … my BROTHER =)
FriendB: hey
like i said..im a mouthpiece..just glad He could have used me in
that way.
FriendA: glad = joy = “much like silence.. or music..that allows us to connect with
the creator in some higherplane.” ? so what is humour?
FriendA: joy =/= humour
FriendA: *rhetorical
FriendB: I see humour on that plane as well. .the sudden outburst..thelaughter..I
can actually see God just putting
little surprises in our wayin our daily lives so when we see it and laugh..
he laughs with us…
FriendA: so i gather Godly humour has much to do with surprises …has to do with
amazement and awe
FriendB: God wants to make my day!!He wants me to go back to him at night and
Go GOD!! gee.. I bet you planned that dint
you!! thank you!! it made my day!!
FriendA: HAHA thats super funny!
FriendB: I do that sometimes..hehehe…
FriendA: ya He does want to make my day. but im the saboteur, and im my favorite
victim.
FriendA: He IS my Daddy and I love Him very much.
FriendB: he knows you do lah
FriendA: ya i know, just felt like confessing it on my keys
FriendA: so what does a follower of Jesus Christ do for fun?
FriendA: ; )
