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: =)

FriendA: so what does a follower of Jesus Christ do for fun?
FriendA: ; )
