1 | Biblical references on Laughter/smiling | Not Specified | Stu | 40998 | ||
As a professional speaker I focus on the benefits that laughter and a sense of humour bring to people. I have been asked by our minister to present the laughter theme within the context of a sermon, but so far haven't been able to find a lot of refereces in the Bible relating to laughter. Laughter is used several times in a cynical sense where people are using laughter to mock others, and as such it is frowned upon. Although Jesus had to deal with many serious issues during his short life, I can't help but believe that he possessed a good sense of humour, and that he wanted us to enjoy a happy life. Any suggestiongs of such Biblical references would be greatly appreciated. This approach was prompted after I made reference to a painting of Jesus in which he is smiling, (or perhaps, laughing) which hangs in our minister's office. Which brings up another point: do you know where I can go to download such a picture, or order a hard copy? Any help will be greatfully appreciated. Blessings, Stu Black |
