What does Jesus say about humor in the New Testament?
Jesus, playing off Nathanael’s criticism, is humorously noting that, finally, an Israelite has been found who is not like his ancestor! We find Christ displaying his humor side again when he partakes of a quick conversation with a Gentile woman who interrupted his meal.
What is the origin of our sense of humor?
It is logical to conclude that our sense of humor originated from the two Beings, God the Father and Jesus Christ, who decided what our collective abilities and characteristics would be. Since humans can find certain things funny, and make humorous comments from time to time, so can God!

Be grateful for your sense of humor, but don’t use it to hurt or embarrass others, and don’t overlook the tragedies and heartaches of our sin-filled world. Jesus wept over the failure of His people to repent and believe the Good News of God’s love and forgiveness—and so should we.
