We think of our Lord as a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief and thereby we think rightly. We would never find comfort in a man who knew only laughter. Thus we're not told about the laughter of Jesus and yet Scripture does say that he was "anointed ... with the oil of gladness" (Hebrews 1:9). We should consider the humour implicit in such sayings as: "Why do you see the sawdust in your neighbour's eye and not the log in your own?" "If the blind lead the blind, shall they not both fall into the ditch?" "They strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel." The only reason we do not laugh at such Scriptures is because we have a feeling that it would be irreverent. Either that, or we do not dwell upon them with our imagination to perceive all that is intended.

bad news, rather than pulling me away from God, has a way of drawing me close. My joy in God seems to grow deepest in barren places, in rocky soil, in the wilderness that I never would choose for myself. Here God has taught me to trust him, and I wouldn’t trade that joy for anything in the world.
