Bible Questions Answered: Laughter-God's

Bible Questions Answered:
I have heard that Jesus never laughed, isn't God like us?
Jason/ Sacramento, California

Bible Answers:
Jesus was on a serious mission of course, but it is also true that not everything is recorded in the Bible that Jesus did.

John 21:25 KJV
And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

The truth is, we, have been created, like God.

Genesis 1:26,27 KJV
[26] And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:...
[27] So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.

If we can laugh, and have joy and be happy, so can our God.

In the Old Testament we read of God “Laughing at His enemies.”

Psalms 2:4 KJV
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

Psalm 2:4 NLT

Psalm 37:12,13 KJV
[12] The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

Abraham's wife Sarah, said of her son, born in her old age.

Genesis 21:6 KJV
And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.

And so she named the son of her old age (90), Isaac: Hebrew: Yitschaq (Yits-khawk) for “Laughter.”

Psalm 126:1-6 NLT
1 When the Lord brought back his exiles to Jerusalem,it was like a dream!
2 We were filled with laughter, and we sang for joy. And the other nations said, “What amazing things the Lord has done for them.”
3 Yes, the Lord has done amazing things for us! What joy!
4 Restore our fortunes, Lord, as streams renew the desert.
5 Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy.
6 They weep as they go to plant their seed, but they sing as they return with the harvest.

Proverbs 15:15 KJV
All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.

Proverbs 17:22 KJV
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

Ecclesiastes 3:4 KJV
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

Isaiah 12:2,3 KJV
[2] Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; He also is become my salvation.
[3] Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.

Malachi 4:2,3 NLT
2 “But for you who fear My name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in His wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture.
3 On the day when I act, you will tread upon the wicked as if they were dust under your feet,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

Philippians 4:4 KJV
Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.

I Thessalonians 5:16 KJV
Rejoice evermore.

I Peter 1:8 KJV
Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see Him not, yet believing,
ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.


Jeremiah 31:3 KJV
The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an
everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.


John 3;16 KJV
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Romans 5:8 KJV
But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
