Jesus The Gatekeeper
St. Peter stood at the
Pearly Gates, waiting for the incoming. He saw Jesus walking by and caught his
attention. "Jesus, could you mind the gate while I go do an errand?"
"Sure,"
replied Jesus. "What do I have to do?"
"Just find out
about the people who arrive. Ask about their background, their family, and
their lives. Then decide if they deserve entry into Heaven."
"Sounds easy
enough. OK."
So Jesus waited at the
gates while St. Peter went off on his errand.
The first person to
approach the gates was a wrinkled old man. Jesus summoned him to the
examination table and sat across from him. Jesus peered at the old man and
asked,
"What was it you
did for a living?"
The old man replied,
"I was a carpenter."
Jesus remembered his
own earthly existence and leaned forward. "Did you have any family?"
he asked.
"Yes, I had a
son, but I lost him."
Jesus leaned forward
some more. "You lost your son? Can you tell me about him?"
"Well, he had
holes in his hands and feet."
Jesus leaned forward
even more and whispered, "Father?"
The old man leaned forward and whispered, "Pinocchio?"
It’s A Miracle
Moses, Jesus and a very
old man are golfing. Moses steps up to the tee and hits the ball. It goes
sailing over the fairway and lands in the water trap. Moses parts the water and
chips the ball onto the green.
Jesus steps up to the tee
and hits the ball. It goes sailing over the fairway and lands in the water
trap.
Jesus just walks on the
water and chips the ball onto the green.
The old man steps up to the tee and
hits the ball. It goes sailing over the fairway and heads for the water trap.
But, just before it falls into the water, a fish jumps up and grabs the ball in
its mouth. As the fish is falling back down into the water, an eagle swoops
down and grabs the fish in its claws. The eagle flies over the green where a
lightning bolt shoots from the sky and barely misses it. Startled, the eagle
drops the fish. When the fish hits the ground, the ball pops out of its mouth
and rolls into the hole for a hole-in-one.
Jesus then turns to the very old man and says, "Dad, if you
don't stop fooling around, we won't bring you next time."
A man arrives at the pearly gates, waiting to be admitted. St. Peter is reading through the Big Book to see if the guy's name is written in it. After several minutes, St. Peter closes the book, furrows his brow, and says, "I'm sorry, I don't see your name written in the Book."
"How current is your copy?" he asks.
"I get a download every ten minutes," St. Peter replies, "Why do you ask?"
"I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I was always the stubborn type. It was not until my death was imminent that I cried out to God, so my name probably hasn't arrived to your copy yet."
"I'm glad to hear that," Pete says, "but while we're waiting for the update to come through, can tell me about a really good deed that you did in your life."
The guys thinks for a moment and says, "Hmm, well there was this one time when I was driving down a road and I saw a giant group of biker gang members harassing this poor girl. I slowed down, and sure enough, there they were, about 20 of 'em torturing this poor woman. Infuriated, I got out of my car, grabbed a tire iron out of my trunk, and walked up to the leader of the gang.
"He was a huge guy; 6-foot-4, 260 pounds, with a studded leather jacket and a chain running from his nose to his ears. As I walked up to the leader, the bikers formed a circle around me and told me to get lost or I'd be next. So I ripped the leader's chain out of his face and smashed him over the head with the tire iron.
"Then I turned around and yelled to the rest of them, 'Leave this poor innocent girl alone! You're all a bunch of SICK, deranged animals! Go home before I really teach you a lesson in PAIN!'"
St. Peter, duly impressed, says "Wow! When did this happen?"
"About three minutes ago."
