There has long been a notion that Jesus never laughed. Traditionally, paintings of Jesus have tended toward melancholy portrayals of a somber, glum Savior. It is true that Jesus became our Sin-bearer (1 Peter 2:24) and that He “was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain” (Isaiah 53:3). Jesus was rejected in His hometown (Mark 6:1–6), He wept at a friend’s graveside (John 11:35), and of course He experienced the cross. However, this does not mean Jesus never had a lighthearted moment or that He never had occasion to laugh.

The picture of Jesus that we find in the Gospels is one of a well-rounded, magnetic personality. He carried children in His arms—and what child wants to be around someone who never laughs (Mark 10:16)? He was accused of being too joyful on occasion (Luke 7:34). He told John’s disciples that it was not a time for mourning (Matthew 9:15).

The very fact that we humans have a sense of humor indicates that God does, too, for we are made in His image. (The existence of penguins, platypuses, and puppies also builds a strong case for God’s having a sense of humor!) Jesus, as the Son of God, shares the Father’s attributes, including a sense of humor.

As the Son of Man, Jesus shares in the full human experience. We cannot imagine life without laughter; even those in dire circumstances have known seasons of joy. Everyone laughs and appreciates good humor. To say that Jesus never expressed joy through laughter is akin to denying His full humanity.

Jesus evinced a sense of humor in His teaching. Jesus’ discussion of the “log” in one’s eye is a purposeful exaggeration—and a lighthearted one at that (Matthew 7:3–5) Also, the incongruous image of a camel going through the eye of a needle contains humor (Matthew 19:24).

Jesus encouraged joyful laughter, most famously in the Beatitudes, recorded in Matthew 5 and Luke 6. Jesus said, “Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.” Jesus spoke of rejoicing in His parables in Luke 15—the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son were all found. The result in each case was great rejoicing. Even more telling is that Jesus told these stories as illustrations of the “joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents” (Luke 15:10).

Jesus had a serious mission to accomplish in this world, but He was not one to be somber all the time. There is no verse in the Bible that says, “Jesus laughed,” but we know that He empathized with us completely and felt all of our emotions. Laughter is part of life, and Jesus truly lived.

Jesus na real gee. Remember the story of Zaccheus perched on a tree to see the Messaih. I know Jesus must have been grinning when he told him to come down and lead the way to his house. A fun time ensued.

He did smile at woman who agreed that she is was unworthy, or at the thief who did right on the cross or at the centurion who understood and also when He saw "the man with no guile"

Maybe because he wasn't giving order by god to have sex with women even when he finds any women that is more attractive that spiritual punishment to frown at

The most-High GOD - Who mercifully gave laughter - can indeed laugh... in the case below at the futility of those who reject and resist Him!

"The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.” He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision." - Psalm 2:2-4

May you have a horrible living and dying for this. E go always dey bad and worse for you.

Jesus Christ laughed a whole lot in the bible,he had a huge sense of humor,the fact that it was never recorded doesn't mean he never smiled.

OK it was written that he ate food but what about poo and wee?

Little children were attracted to Jesus because He was a jovial person.

If you aren't a slave to your god you shouldn't be fighting for Jesus but your brain has been reset to be slave your logic reason has been shutdown so I can't stress myself

Of all those born of women Jesus is the most handsome, intelligent, friendly and jovial!

Let's use his encounter with the Samaritan lady as a case study:

Jesus walked up to Jacob's well and there was a beautiful attractive young lady fetching water so Jesus asked her for a drink, the lady responded grudgingly because Jews don't like talking to Samaritans so how come this young and charming looking Jews approached her for water? John 4:7-9

Then Jesus told her that he has a special type of water that this lady needs and she won't need to come back for water at the well! John 4:10

Due to his friendly smile and confidence this lady asked the young man "are you greater than our great grandfather Jacob who dug this well and drank from it with his children throughout their lives?" {John 4:11-12} she's driving at something but she can't just conclude without the response of this young Jewish man. So Jesus' response sparked another thought in her mind:

“Everyone drinking from this water will get thirsty again. Whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will never get thirsty at all, but the water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water bubbling up to impart everlasting life.” John 4:13-14

Wow, This young Jew wants to flirt! She thought so pretending not to understand Jesus she sarcastically asked "please give me this (miracle) water" {John 4:15} but because Jesus had something else in mind he asked he to go and call her husband {John 4:16} but she's already flowing why will he change the subject? So she responded swiftly "i have no husband" well Jesus now blew her mind by telling her the thoughts in her mind “You are right in saying, ‘I do not have a husband.’ For you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. This you have said truthfully.” John 4:17-18

This is really strange! Because if Jesus could know about the woman's past life how can he know of what she's thinking in her heart?
Jesus didn't only tell her about her past but also what she's thinking about her present husband!

So she surrendered perhaps this handsome young Jewish man isn't a flirt but a prophet of God! John 4:19

From this discussion do you need to be told that Jesus is friendly and jovial?
Remember Jews always frown whenever they come in contact with Samaritans even Jesus when sending out his twelve disciples for the first time to go and preach strictly warned them to avoid Samaritans! Matthew 10:6

So personally Jesus is a free person that's ever approachable though as a Jew he must inculcate in the minds of his people the love for neighbours whether such ones happens to be of their own tribe or not! Luke 10:25-37

I have some questions to ask

Why god didn't allow Jesus to procreate (have children)

2.There are many philosopher that are inlegent as Jesus so being intelligent as to do with religions

3.Bible didn't explain how the rest of the disciples end their life including Judas the betrayal

4. When Jesus died on the cross in Calvary he said is over I.e all our sins are over but why did god created hell fire

Before Jesus Israelites were anticipating the birth of Christ but after Christ faithful servants of God don't think of raising children anymore rather they think of helping as many as they could to gain accurate knowledge. Jesus on his own part isn't human so he must return to his home (heaven) that's why raising children isn't his portion.

I don't get your second question.

The Bible explained how Judas Iscariot ended his life but other apostles died when narration of the stories has ended. The only four disciples who thought of telling the stories are Matthew (wrote a gospel in his name) Mark (wrote a gospel in his name) Luke (wrote a gospel and the book of Acts) and John (wrote the book of Revelation and later a gospel in his name) so Luke included in his account of Acts how Stephen and apostle James were killed.

Jesus completed his own earthly assignment it's left to each person to work out his or her own salvation by exercising faith in the ransom sacrifice of Jesus.
As for what most people call Hell it simply means Grave God never create anything like a place of torment for the dead!

Dabronze:

I do not mind being a slave to God but you on the hand are definitely a slave of Satan and atheists and men which is why you attack me and my Master. So, we are all stressing ourselves reping our Masters.

He must have...

When he saw Tinubu eating his own portion of the fish and bread he just multiplied...

That has to be funny.

He also cried when his girlfriend's brother died(Lazarus).

At first bolded I think the reason why people are worshiping Jesus is because he's extraordinary human
Before the doctrination of religion was introduced to Africa they have their own god of which this god are supernatural human being After the arrival of the colonial master they make their African god inferior

At second bolded
My question is you said Jesus is most intelligent but there are many philosopher and scientists with many inventions that ate useful for me and you
But the god that you said is most intelligent has nothing useful except unknown heaven promise

Third bolded
What is their offense before they where killed

Forth bolded
But most Christian that I have met don't believe this they will be pointing at the sky that was where heaven was located
But the Jehovah Witness are total different ball game those one said heaven is right here on this earth What a confusion and illusion

At a point in time i was like you but i don't just expect to be schooled by different people having contracting opinions i spoke with members of various religions one on one before i believe in Jesus.
From your response i discovered you're out to express your grievances towards the conflicting doctrines about religion so i will advise you to stick to whatever suits you.

As for Jesus of Nazareth none of those claiming they believe in him has ever seen him perform any miracles what we all know about him are stories written in a book called "Bible" the same is applicable to all other Gods be it African or Asian Gods.

As for those you're referring to as intelligent these ones invented things useful for us all but both them and all others that have lived before them failed woefully to do something that Jesus was able to do even in his absence.

The Bible refered to Jesus as the Wonderful Counselor and Prince of Peace {Isaiah 9:6} i never knew the meaning of these titles until i met Jesus' real disciples (Jehovah's Witnesses) this people are imperfect like everyone else and they have their individual flaws like all other religionists but with what Jesus laid down they're able to solve the problem that none as in NONE of all the religions existing before this group sufficed could attempt with all their Gods!

What is this problem?

Throughout history politics has been the one and only reason why people kill people without thinking twice, brothers, friends, blood relations and many more finds it really difficult to settle their scores in the face of politics without resorting to violence but with Jesus' teachings Jehovah's Witnesses are fulfilling the prophecy recorded in the Bible book of Isaiah 2:2-4 repeated at Micah 4:1-3 and concluded in the Bible book of Zephaniah 3:9

YES millions throughout the earth have vowed never to raise weapons against their fellowman in the name of politics because this group has taught them to love their neighbours as themselves just as Jesus Christ commanded! Mark 12:31

Please fish out any philosopher no matter how intelligent he or she is whose teaching or idea has helped in making people vow never to be part of those making, buying, selling or using weapons again! Psalms 46:9
