Jesus Laughed
The Bible is incomplete. It is. That’s not bad. Just the limits of putting anything to written form. Even John says, “Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.” Jesus did MANY other things that were not written down. I wish they had written down a few more things.
The shortest verse in the Bible is “Jesus wept.” I like it because it show Jesus’ heart and how he hurt when a friend of his died. I wish there was one more like it. I wish the gospel writers would have included the fact that Jesus laughed. I wish I could read, “John leaned over and told Jesus a joke. Jesus belly-laughed hysterically.” I am sure they shared these type of moments. I mean you get 13 guys together for three years and there is going to be a large chunk of humor happening. To included Jesus laughing would have, for me, made the Bible a bit more complete and would have driven a substantial nail into the fact that Jesus was human––a flesh and bone guy who laughed and burped and passed gas and cried––as well as divine. Which makes me wonder if even the divine would do such things? (Minus, perhaps, the middle two).
