Jesus Was…

During these days of of stress, conflict and tragedy, I feel that all of us could use a little humor to brighten our otherwise less cheerful moments. On that note, I came across the following sent to me by a minister friend almost twenty years ago. Hope it helps lighten your day.

THERE WERE 3 GOOD ARGUMENTS THAT JESUS WAS BLACK:
    1.  He called everyone “brother”
    2.  He liked Gospel
    3.  He couldn’t get a fair trial

BUT THEN THERE WERE 3 EQUALLY GOOD ARGUMENTS THAT JESUS WAS JEWISH:
    1.  He went into his Father’s business
    2.  He lived at home until he was 30.
    3.  He was sure his mother was a virgin and his mother was sure he was God.

BUT THEN THERE WERE 3 EQUALLY GOOD ARGUMENTS THAT JESUS WAS ITALIAN:
    1.  He talked with his hands
    2.  He had wine with every meal
    3.  He used olive oil.

BUT THEN THERE WERE 3 EQUALLY GOOD ARGUMENTS THAT JESUS WAS A CALIFORNIAN.
    1.  He never cut his hair
    2.  He walked around barefoot all the time
    3.  He started a new religion

BUT THEN THERE WERE 3 EQUALLY GOOD ARGUMENTS THAT JESUS WAS IRISH:
    1.  He never got married
    2.  He was always telling stories
    3.  He loved green pastures

BUT THE MOST COMPELLING EVIDENCE OF ALL, 3 PROOFS THAT JESUS WAS A WOMAN:
    1.  He fed a crowd at a moment’s notice when there was no food.
    2.  He kept trying to get a message across to a bunch of men who just didn’t get it
    3.  And even when he was dead, He had to get up because there was more work to do.
