1 Kings 18:27
And at noon Elijah mocked them, saying, “Cry aloud, for he is a god. Either he is musing, or he is relieving himself, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened.”(ESV)
So many stories in the bible can be taught from a humorous angle. Here, Elijah mocks the “prophets” by saying, ‘Is your guy in the bathroom? We can wait. Did he stay up too late last night and slept in a bit this morning? You guys told him this was coming, right?’
Numbers 22. Balaam had a full conversation with a donkey like it was a normal thing instead of being worried about the possibility of a mental breakdown.
Book of Jonah. Jonah actually tried to run away from God. He ran as if God wasn’t already wherever he ran.
Acts 20. Paul bores a guy literally to death then resurrects him so that he doesn’t miss the rest of the sermon.
Genesis 18. Sarah got caught laughing and tried to deny it like a kid in the cookie jar and a mouth full of cookie.
Judges 6. Gideon has to ask three times for God to give him a sign just to be sure that he was reading things correctly.
