SUNDAY SERMON

W W J D - C'mon, Where's Your Sense of Humor?

Most people assume WWJD stands for “what would Jesus do?’ But the initials really stand for “what would Jesus drive?’!

One theory is that Jesus would tool around in an old Plymouth, because the Bible says ‘God drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden in a Fury.’

In Psalm 83, the Almighty clearly owns a Pontiac and a Geo. This passage urges the Lord to ‘pursue your enemies with your Tempest and terrify them with your Storm’.

Perhaps God favors Dodge pickup trucks, because Moses' followers are warned not to go up a mountain ‘until the Ram’s horn sounds a long blast’.

Meanwhile, Moses rode an old British motorcycle, as evidenced by a Bible passage declaring that ‘the roar of Moses’ Triumph is heard in the hills’.

Joshua drove a Triumph sports car with a hole in its muffler – ‘Joshua’s Triumph was heard throughout the land’.

Some scholars insist that Jesus drove a Honda, but didn’t like to talk about it. As proof, they site a verse in St. John’s gospel where Christ tells the crowd, ‘For I did not speak of my own Accord . . .’

Thus following their Master’s lead, the Apostles carpooled in a Honda . . .’The Apostles were in one Accord’.

Now you know why I hesitate in stepping thru the doors of the local parish!
