The Day After Easter

"Apostle's Day Off"

I bet it was really tough being an Apostle
of Jesus. What if you wanted a day off?

You ring up Jesus and say, "Jesus, I'm sick
today, running a little fever and feeling
congested so I won't be able to make it
to today's sermon. What...? Say that
again...! I'm cured?"

"The Day After Easter"

It was following the resurrection and disciples
were still somewhat scattered about Jerusalem
and the surrounding villages. John finds Peter
and runs up to him. Excitedly he says, "Peter,
Peter! I've got some good news and some
bad news."

Peter takes ahold of John and calms him
down. "Take it easy, John. What is it? What's
the good news?"

John says, "The good news is Christ is risen."

Peter says, "That's great! But, what's the bad
news?"

John, looking around, says, "He's really
steamed about last Friday."
