Not Taking Chances


A man and his ever-nagging wife went on vacation to Jerusalem. While they were there, the wife passed away.

The undertaker told the husband, "You can have her shipped home for $5,000, or you can bury her here, in the Holy Land, for $150."

The man thought about it and told him he would just have her shipped home.

The undertaker asked, "Why would you spend $5,000 to ship your wife home, when it would be wonderful to be buried here in the Holy Land and you would spend only $150?"

The man replied, "Long ago a man died here, was buried here, and three days later he rose from the dead. I just can't take that chance."

OK, it’s Friday and time to laugh.

I will say this. Even though his applied thinking is warped, the old man was right about the Resurrection.

Jesus rose from the dead, and because of that, I have hope and can really enjoy this day and the ones to follow!

You really ought to go worship the Lord this weekend.
