Easter Fanfare
An Easter illustration -
A Sunday School teacher had just finished telling her second graders about how Jesus was crucified and placed in a tomb with a great stone sealing the opening. Then, wanting to share the excitement of the resurrection, she asked : "And what do you think were Jesus' first words when He came bursting out of that tomb alive?" A hand shot up into the air from the rear of the classroom from one of the little girls. Leaping out of her chair she shouted out excitedly, "I know, I know!" "Good" said the teacher, "Tell us, what were Jesus first words." And extending her arms into the air she said:: "TA-DA!!"
Jesus' resurrection is the "TA-DA!" of Christianity.

Bart was sad because his dog had died. To help soothe some of his emotions, dad helpfully added,"While I know your sad about losing Benji, I think that God wanted to enjoy having Benji in heaven with him". "What's God want with a dead dog?" asked Bart.
Nativity Play
At a nativity play, all was going well until the angel appeared and told the little girl playing Mary that she was going to have a baby.
"But how can this be," said Mary, "since I am a Viking?"
