Did Jesus laugh? Is Jesus a fun guy?
We know Jesus wept, but what would have made him laugh? Jesus has a sense of humor. Jesus told jokes, some are recorded in Scripture. We worship a God of fun who wants to laugh with us.
If that’s not your perception of Jesus, you might need to change your reality.

Clothes pins – fs
Change Your Reality
*take off suit*
How someone looks

Jesus Laughing Picture
Jesus laughed
Jesus is a Fun Guy
Jesus put the fun in “fungible”
He changed people’s realities all the time – still does
Took fishermen and made them fish for men
Scruffy dudes and tax collectors became His disciples
The hated and the outcast became beloved of God
New names
Water to wine
Wine and bread became flesh and blood
The King of all Creation became a servant
Speaking of water to wine – Jesus was a fun guy to have at parties
Accused of being a glutton and a drunk
People wanted him at their parties and he went to the rowdiest ones
Jesus wanted everyone included
*call Sean*
Jesus wanted everyone included
LUKE 5:29 NIV Then Levi held a great banquet for Jesus at his house, and a large crowd of tax collectors and others were eating with them.
LUKE 5:30 NIV But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law who belonged to their sect complained to his disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

LUKE 5:32 NIV I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

You give them something to eat
Jesus even told jokes in his sermons
LUKE 6:37 NIV “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
LUKE 6:38 NIV Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
LUKE 6:39 NIV He also told them this parable: “Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a pit?
LUKE 6:40 NIV The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.
LUKE 6:41 NIV “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
LUKE 6:42 NIV How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own ...
