\"\"A hilarious joke is going viral this week about a pastor who was new to the job, and it\u2019s sure to make you smile!<\/p>\n

A new pastor was out one day visiting the homes of his parishioners. When he got to one house, it was\u00a0obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door. Taking out his business card, the pastor wrote \u201cRevelation 3:20\u201d on the back of it and stuck it in the door.<\/p>\n

The next Sunday, when the offering was processed, the pastor discovered that the card had been returned. Added to the card was the cryptic message, \u201cGenesis 3:10..\u201d<\/p>\n

The pastor picked up his bible so that he could check the citation, and as soon as he read it, he burst into laughter.<\/p>\n

Revelation 3:20 begins with the line,\u00a0\u201cBehold, I stand at the door and knock.\u201d<\/p>\n

Genesis 3:10 states, \u201cI heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid for I was naked.\u201d<\/p>\n

Did you enjoy this lighthearted, Christian joke? If so, we\u2019ve got another one for you!<\/p>\n

This story is about a shy priest who was greeting wedding guests at his chapel. The priest was so nervous that he didn\u2019t say very much to the guests.<\/p>\n

When the couple got to the altar, the priest gave the best speech that anyone there had heard. He was suddenly incredibly confident and expressive, and he had everyone in attendance laughing!<\/p>\n

As soon as the couple said their vows, however, the priest went back to being shy and quiet. The groom walked up to him after the wedding and said,\u00a0\u201cWhy are you so shy? You seemed like a different person when you were giving that speech!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know\u2026\u201d the priest said, \u201cbut that was just my altar ego\u201d.<\/p>\n

LOL! Hope you have many more good laughs today! Share with your family and friends so they can enjoy a few laughs with you too.<\/p>\n
