God's Sense of Humor - Examples Please!
Posted: Tue Nov 18, 2014 10:19 am
Looking for examples in Scripture and otherwise of God's sense of humor - please contribute!
I was recently thinking a lot about man's God-like attributes (though obviously diminished) that are obvious in humans' diverse and unique abilities, interests, inventions, love of beauty, art, design, science, etc. One attribute is that, universally, no matter their culture or time, humans like to laugh; we are continuously seeking and creating humor. Obviously God created this incredible ability and desire in us - to both create and appreciate humor and to express and share laughter. And so it's clear to me that God himself appreciates and must have a grand sense of humor. But I think we read through Scripture and mostly miss it - God, Jesus, his prophets and apostles all seem to ONLY be intense and serious. But as Jesus and God's intermediaries were also human, they certainly also each had a sense of humor. Let's list some examples of those.
Comment on some aspect of God/Jesus', His Creation, Scriptural examples, the prophets, apostles, Bible writers, etc reflecting God's sense of humor:
