The bible is a profound message of the infinite, all-powerful Creator revealing His plan of salvation, which involves rescuing us from sin, death and the evil one — as well as judging the world for all of its wickedness. These things are pretty serious, and they need to be understood well because they are no laughing matter. However today I want to take a detour through some scenic routes in scripture that remind us of other important things, like God being a real person with real emotions and even a sense of humor.

God is the Author of all things, which means that humor, comedy and wit are expressions of His nature. Truly when we look for evidence of this, we find it in many places both inside and outside the bible. God is clever, coy, witty and He likes to have fun. He delights in surprises, irony — even sarcasm — and is ultimately driven by joy.

So today I want to enumerate for you a few places in scripture that reveal these beautiful aspects of God, so that you can remember to laugh a little in your own life as well.
