A Sunday school teacher was telling her class the story of the Good
Samaritan, in which a man was beaten, robbed and left for dead. She
described the situation in vivid detail so her students would catch the
drama. Then, she asked the class, "If you saw a person lying on the
roadside, all wounded and bleeding, what would you do?"
A thoughtful little girl broke the
hushed silence, "I think I'd throw up."
STORY OF ELIJAH
The Sunday school teacher was
carefully explaining the story of Elijah
the Prophet and the false
prophets of Baal. She explained how Elijah
built the altar, put wood
upon it, cut the steer in pieces, and laid it upon
the altar and then,
Elijah commanded the people of God to fill four
barrels of water and
pour it over the altar. He had them do this four
times.
Now, said the teacher,
"can anyone in the class tell me why the Lord
would have Elijah pour
water over the steer on the altar?"
A little girl in the back of the
room started waving her hand,
"I know, I know," she said, "to make the
gravy!"
LOT'S WIFE
The Sunday School teacher was
describing how
Lot's wife
looked back and turned into a pillar of
salt, when little Johnny interrupted,
"My Mummy looked back once, while
she was DRIVING," he
announced triumphantly, "and she turned into a
telephone pole!"
HIGHER POWER
A Sunday school teacher said to her
children, "We have been
learning how powerful kings and queens were in
Bible times.
But, there is a higher power. Can anybody tell me what it
is?"
One child blurted out, "Aces!"
SUNDAY SCHOOL
Nine year old Joey, was asked by
his mother what he had learned
in Sunday school.
"Well, Mom, our teacher told us how
God sent Moses behind enemy
lines on a rescue mission to lead the
Israelites out of Egypt. When
he got to the
Red Sea, he had his engineers build a pontoon
bridge
and all the people walked across safely. Then, he used his
walkie-talkie
to radio headquarters for reinforcements. They sent
bombers to blow
up the bridge and all the Israelites were saved."
"Now, Joey, is that really what
your teacher taught you?" his mother asked.
Well, no, Mom. But, if I told it the way the teacher did, you'd never believe it.
