Do you think that Jesus had a sense of homour?

Question

If he wanted to he must have been able to tell jokes as funny as conan o briens. (did i say funny?)

Answer 1

Considering he knew everything, no, he never laughed at anything. Just like a joke isn't funny anymore when you have heard it many times, Jesus knew EVERYTHING, which means he would already know any joke anyone could possibly tell him. Even if he didn't know everything, no, he could never be as funny as Conan O'Brien.

Answer 2

He totally had a sense of humor. Many of the parables and stories he told were quite funny. He often did things which were unexpected. For example - listen to this one (paraphrase of a) parable that Jesus told:

There was a homeless guy named Joe who owed the president a million dollars. The president was about to put the guy in jail but the homeless man begged the president he said "I know I owe you alot of money, just give me some time and I promise I will make back that million dollars, just have mercy on me, let me go free, please please please!"

So the president says "Ok, since I feel sorry for you, you can forget about that million dollars that you owe me."

Joe is so delighted, he walks out of the oval office skipping and singing a tune.

On the way down the road Joe comes across one of his friends named Bill who is also homeless. Joe says to Bill "Hey friend, do you have that 5 bucks you owe me?" And Bill says "I'm sorry man I am totally broke, can you give me just another week to get your money, I promise I will get it to you!"

"You Jerk!" Says Joe, "I want my money right now!" And Joe calls the police on his friend bill and gets him arrested until he can pay back his 5 bucks.

Now some of Joe's other friends heard about what Joe had done and they told the president about it. So the President called Joe back in to the Oval office and said "Joe, what is your problem? I forgave your debt, how come you wouldn't forgive your friend a measley 5 bucks? Because you have done this, I will have you put in jail until you have paid me back the last penny that you owe me!"

Then Jesus explained that the point of the parable was that God (in Jesus Christ) has forgiven us a huge debt of wrongdoing - when we lie, cheat, steal, etc. So we have to forgive other people when they hurt us. Otherwise we are like the homeless guy demanding to be paid back a 5 dollar debt after God forgives us a million dollar debt :D

I dunno about you, but I think that's a pretty clever story! And there are many more like that in the gospels.

Answer 3

Yes, he has a sense of humor, but not like Conan.

Answer 4

You asked if Jesus had a sense of humor (not humour). The answer would be yes otherwise we could not laugh. God made or created laughter.

Answer 5

I don't know about Jesus, but I know that God must have had a sense of humor! Look at the platapus...Think about all of the road rage. God had this all planned out - a part of his comic routine if you will.

Answer 6

He has a sense of humor. Just look at some of the things that happen in our lives.

Answer 7

Jesus walked on water right past the disciples who were working on boats. Picture that...

Andrew: "Hey, Peter, can you hand me, oh holy criminy! Someone is walking out there!!"

Jesus: "Hey dudes, been working long?"

(Makes me laugh to think about the possibilities. What about you?)

Answer 8

I think he *did* have a sense of humor, but as he's simply dissolved into replenishing the soil and earth upon death, that's kind of hard to do now.

Answer 9

I know that GOD and Jesus both have a sense of humor every time I shave and that's every morning.

Answer 10

Are you kidding, could you imagine the rabbi jokes he knew. Okay a rabbi and a high zorastrian priestess walk into a roman bathhouse... you get the idea.
