Humour

I half heard The Rt Rev Lord Harries of Pentregarth on BBC Radio Four's Thought for the Day this morning. He spoke about Ken Dodd and humour. 
Humour sometimes depends on incongruity, and that is to be seen all over the show in our world and in the Scriptures. 
Human beings are made in the image of God and yet they are totally depraved. They have an infinite goodness and an all pervasive badness. They are broken gods. They are capable of wonderful achievements and unbelievable folly. Human pride deserves a good laugh. 
The infinite God became a baby. He who feeds all things hungered. The ever blessed one cried. As he held the stars in his hands he could not even form a fist. 
And God died.
And the lifeless body of the Son rose to life immortal. 
A man reigns on the throne of heaven.
