Jesus, the Word made flesh, does indeed have a sense of humor, as the Father - reading the Bible will show plainly God's display of His sense of humor!
This is not the same as saying that Jesus was joking when He said, "Those who believe in me will never die," or in any other declarations He made - of Himself, of His Father, of the two Kingdoms at war with one another, or of sinful men. Wisdom writes,
Like a madman shooting firebrands or deadly arrowsJesus did not lie, ever, and He did not treat life and death as matters to be joked about. He was awesomely serious about the need for sinful man to repent and to believe in Him, to get off the wide road leading to hell and get into the Way of Righteousness, found in Christ alone, the Door into the Kingdom of Heaven, the Only Mediator between Holy God and fallen mankind.
is a man who deceives his neighbor and says, "I was only joking!"
~Proverbs 26:18-20
He also was from all eternity, was in His incarnation, is to this day, and will be for all eternity, filled with JOY, which is far greater, supremely better, and much more worthy of seeking and finding than mere humor!
The Holy Spirit of God in holy men (the Sons of Korah) wrote the following prophetic, praiseful words from Psalm 45 of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the only Begotten of the Father, the King of the Jews, the Prince of Peace, the Bridegroom to the Church, the Kinsman-Redeemer and Dread Champion - it is important to note that all the Psalms were written in the time span from 1490 B.C. to 444 B.C., and so this one was written at the very least *5 centuries before* Jesus was born a baby in a manger in Bethlehem, grew to adulthood in Nazareth, walked willingly to die upon the cross at Calvary in Jerusalem, and rose from the dead, ascending into heaven to the right hand of the Father on High -
You are the most excellent of men
and your lips have been anointed with grace,
since God has blessed you forever.
Gird your sword upon your side, O mighty one;
clothe yourself with splendor and majesty.
In your majesty ride forth victoriously
in behalf of truth, humility and righteousness;
let your right hand display awesome deeds.
Let your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the king's enemies;
let the nations fall beneath your feet.
Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever;
a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.
You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions
by anointing you with the oil of joy.
~Psalm 45:2-7, hallelujah, amen!
