Some things are funny... 'til milk comes out your nose.

I know that "All Scripture ...is profitable....that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16-17, however, I think I would be better equipped if I knew what made Jesus laugh. I'm sure there's "sinful" laughing, but what's appropriate for a child of God?

I'm confident that Jesus laughed. I don't mean giggled, I mean full-belly-hurting-rib-clenching-hardy-har-har-milk-out-your-nose laugh, but Peter and Paul don't tell us about it. 

We know He cried, He slept, He ate fish and made good wine, but we don't read anywhere what made him laugh. Peter must have made Jesus laugh, he was funny! "I'll never let you wash my feet Lord..... well, when you put it that way, how about my whole body?".... "I'll never deny you... cockadoodledooo"! He was the first one with his hands up, lips puckered with his "oooh! oooh! oooh! Pick me!" attitude. I love him. 

This is one of the hundred questions I intend to ask my Jesus about. What makes Him laugh? His answer will probably be.... me.
