Who wants to hear a Holy Thursday joke?

Question

Note: I am an environmentalist (informally), and I came up with this joke.

"You see, I love the Romans. They were a great republic and then an empire. However, there is one thing that I hate about them. When they crucified Jesus, why did they cut down an entire tree?"

I just realized that it is supposed to be a Good Friday joke. MY BAD.

Answer 1

Damn Romans. But G-man, that's a good Friday joke not a holy Thursday joke.

P.S. I know where you live

The Commandment!


John 15:12
This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

Maundy Thursday comes from "Mandatum" or "Commandment" Thursday. It is
called so because of today's verse. The curious thing about the
commandments of God is that they are so simple and so hard. If God appeared to
us sensibly in a blazing vision, we would be willing, before that
awesome glory, to perform Seven Herculean Feats or at least to try. But when
God really was present to us in sensible form, He did not ask us to do
any of that. He told us commanded us to "love one another as I have
loved you." That sounds easy...till we try it. Then we discover the
truth: it's the hardest thing in the world. For love means death,
self-death. And we don't want to die. And so, we are thrown back on the need for
help, for there is no getting around this commandment. We must love as
Christ loves or perish. It's that simple. And the only way to do that
is to receive the grace of the Holy Spirit so that we can obey it. We
cannot do it on our own. Today, ask the Spirit to make you able to
love as Christ loves. He is powerful and able to make you able.

Answer 3

they likely used the same tree for more than one crucifixtion, so they might have been in the forefront of recycling.

Answer 4

It's lame.
