Don't be bored, get on board

 

Hi folks!

Are you well and cheerful? The reason I ask is because I know for a fact that some of you are getting bored with my Christian articles here.

I make no apologies for this. The thing is, this is a Christian Blog.

Although I do my best to introduce some humour, and fun, and music and light-hearted articles; at the end of the day it is a Christian Blog. And there are times when a subject is put into my heart that I should write about. If this bores some people then I would rather people get bored for a while now than spend an eternity in regret.

Anyway, enough seriousness for now. How about some levity.

A man is stumbling by the riverside totally drunk when he comes upon a preacher baptising people in the river. He staggers to the river’s edge and subsequently falls in. The preacher turns around and is almost overcome by the smell of alcohol. He asks the drunk, “Are you ready to find Jesus?”

The drunk answers, “Yes I am.”

So the preacher grabs him and dunks him in the water. He pulls him up and asks the drunk, “Brother, have you found Jesus?”

The drunk replies, “No, I haven’t.”

The preacher shocked at the answer, dunks him into the water again for a little longer this time. He again pulls him out of the water and asks, “Have you found Jesus, my brother?”

The drunk answers again, “No, I haven’t.”

But this time the preacher is at his wits end and he dunks the drunk in the water again, but this time he holds him down for about 30 seconds, and when he begins kicking his arms and legs, he pulls him up. The preacher again asks the drunk, “For the love of God, have you found Jesus?”

The drunk wipes his eyes and catches his breath and says to the preacher, “Are you sure this is where he fell in?”

Let us now consider where we might have lost Jesus in our lives.
