What’s the bad news?” The psychic replied “The bad news is that you’re going to be crucified.”
38. When Jesus first started preaching, he decided to do a trial run of his famous sermon on the mount. After he finished the sermon, his friend Peter walked up and said “That was amazing Jesus!

When Joseph picked up the phone Jesus said “Hey it’s Jesus, did you finish making my cross for tomorrow?” Joseph replied “Oh wow, Jesus! I completely forgot about your order. I’m very sorry but I won’t be able to get that cross done for you on such short notice.” Jesus let out a sigh and said “Joseph you’ve really nailed me on this one.”

Shocked, she frantically ran into town to find the disciples and told them the terrible news: “They have taken Jesus from the tomb and we don’t know where they put him!” The disciples immediately sprang into action, calling the Judean PD, putting up “Missing Savior” flyers around town, and interrogating anyone suspicious near the tomb. Three days later, a very relaxed looking Jesus strolled into town. When his disciples angrily confronted him, he chuckled and said “Guys relax, I told you I’d rise again, I just took the long weekend to chill.”

The disciples applauded, their doubts finally gone.

The day after turning water into wine at a wedding, Jesus and his mother Mary were chatting. “Jesus,” she said, “I’m very proud of you for helping out with that miracle yesterday, but I have to ask – why didn’t you just make some more wine appear instead of going through all that business with the water?” Jesus chuckled. “I suppose I could have, but where’s the fun in that? Besides, if I make everything appear instantly, it kinda takes away my reputation as a top-notch carpenter.”

57. Jesus was busy working alone one day in Joseph’s carpentry shop when his friend John came by to chat. While Jesus was sawing a long plank of wood, John asked him “Why do you spend so much time making tables and chairs? You’re the Son of God, can’t you just miraculously create whatever you need?” Jesus kept sawing as he replied “Of course I have the capability, but I rather enjoy the feeling of working with my hands. It helps me stay grounded.” John nodded; while he didn’t relate to manual labor himself, he understood the value in staying humble.

Sheepishly they agreed to postpone the leadership decision and go get some lunch instead.
59. While hanging on the cross, Jesus groaned and said “Man, I could really go for an ice cold glass of water right about now.” Hearing this, a Roman centurion grabbed a spear and stabbed it into Jesus’ side, causing water to flow out. “Thanks man, I appreciate you trying to help,” Jesus said weakly, “But that’s not exactly what I meant.”
60. Jesus was hanging out with his disciples one day near the Sea of Galilee when Peter had an idea. “Jesus, we should go fishing! It’ll be relaxing.” Jesus agreed that was a nice idea, so they grabbed some poles, bait, and snacks and headed out on Peter’s boat. As they floated around chatting, Jesus suddenly got a bite on his line. Without much effort he reeled in a huge 7-foot bass. Peter was amazed and a bit jealous.

They totally stole my life story!” The disciples shook their heads and chuckled, assuring him it was just a coincidence.

Sorry if this isn’t as good as manna,” Jesus joked as he served fish and bread he had prepared. “Are you kidding?” Moses said as he took a bite. “This is delicious!

One Sunday, Jesus and a few disciples were hanging out in their favorite cafe in Jerusalem when a robed man with a long beard approached them. “Greetings, I am John the Baptist,” he said. “Jesus, I’ve been wanting to meet you ever since hearing of your miraculous birth and wondrous deeds.” Jesus smiled graciously. “A pleasure to meet you as well, John. You know, you really do remind me of someone else I know named John.” He gestured to his disciple beside him. “This is my good friend, John.” John the disciple waved meekly, a bit embarrassed about the confusion but happy to let Jesus take the lead.
