Key Takeaways:

Humor is amusingly subverted expectations, probably
The Gospel is full of paradoxes which are mysterious but not illogical
God the Father is probably humorous, but His jokes go way over our head
Both Jesus and Scripture are really funny at times, but we should be careful not to anachronistically turn them into standup comedy
Fallen humor is rotten, low-hanging fruit, redeemed humor is fresh, high-hanging fruit
Godly humor is humbling, community-building, and perspective-resetting
