Grace for your spirit October 3, 2014

Humor for  your spirit
The preacher search committee asked the applicant to tell his favorite Bible study in his own words.  He stood and said,
 
"The Good Samaritan was man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, who went down to Jericho at night.  He fell among the thorns and they choked him half to death, and he said, What shall I do?  I will arise and go to my father.  And he arose and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see who was to pass that way. And his hair got caught in a limb of the tree and he hung there for forty days and forty nights, and the raven came and fed him.  Delilah came by with her sheers and snipped off his hair and some it fell on stony ground.  Elijah came by and took him down to Jericho and Jezebel was sitting on the wall and he said, Chuck her down boys.  And they said how many times shall we chuck her down, until seven times?  And he said, Nay, until seventy times seven.  And so they chucked her down and she burst in their midst.  Then they picked up 12 baskets of the fragments that remained.  And whose wife shall she be in the resurrection?"

The committee all agreed that he wasn't much to look at, but he sure knew his Bible.  :)
