Divine Sense of Humor


The Divine Sense of Humor is first who we look at life. Others see things for the way it is. Others will see things and see that it has a deeper meaning to it. A person with the divine sense of humor understands the literal and spiritual meaning of things. One example he used was the equation E=MC2. This could be seen as the literal letters or could be seen and the letters standing for something else. Another example is the brazen serpent. God was life this serpent as he was put on a tree and a man without sin was looked to have sin to save others from sin. This is the divine sense of humor to an imminent degree. When Jesus talked about destroying the temple and rebuilding it in three days he was using the divine sense of humor. Jesus was calling himself the new temple as it related to His death and resurrection three days later. There are two Greek words that stand for temple Hieron and Naos. Naos loosely means the holy of holies, which was the area that only the priest could go to. It was in this area where God was present. Jesus would become the new holy of holies. Jesus’ human nature was the flesh in which divinity was shown.
The life of Jesus was a sacrament and because of this it was filled with signs and symbols. Jesus himself was a sign of his Father and made Him present in the world. Jesus was also a symbol because He was semantic to God.
