Post Resurrection appearance
After His resurrection our Lord appeared to a certain fisherman on the banks of the
"I am Jesus", He said, "My death and resurrection has saved all who believe in me, and I am returned to show the Father's love and power.
"No, you're not Jesus, so bug off, you're scaring all the fish," answered the fisherman.
“You are full of doubt. What would you have me do to show who I am?"
"Walk on the water," he tells Jesus.
So Jesus starts walking across the sear. Next thing, he sinks and disappears under the water. After he swims back to shore, the old man says to him, "There you are, see, you're not Jesus, you can't walk on water"
Jesus responds, "Well, I used to be able to until I got these darned holes in my feet!"
After church on Sunday I was standing at the door as I always do to shake hands. I spotted a C and E Christian coming toward me and I took him firmly by the hand and said "You need to join the Army of the Lord!"
The man responded, "I'm already in the Army of the Lord, Pastor."
I questioned, "How come I don't see you except at Christmas and Easter?"
He whispered back, "I'm in the secret service!"
Communion Visit
I was on my way to visit a homebound member of our parish to bring her communion and was running late as usual so I was going a bit over the speed limit. Wouldn’t you know I get pulled over for speeding. After giving the officer my license and proof of insurance he notices my communion kit sitting on the seat beside me and asks what’s inside of it. I told him, “some bread and water.” He asked for the kit and I handed it over. He opened the little bottle in the kit smelled it and with suspicion in his voice informed me, “this isn’t water, this is wine.” I clapped my hands together and said, “Halleluiah, He did it again.”
