"The Name"

 

 

Jesus was wandering around Jerusalem when He decided that He really
needed a new robe.

 

After looking around for a while, He saw a sign for Finkelstein, the
Tailor.

 

So, He went in and made the necessary arrangements to have Finkelstein
prepare a new robe for Him.

 

A few days later, when the robe was finished, Jesus tried it on and it
was a perfect fit!

 

He asked how much He owed. Finkelstein brushed him off: "No, no, no, for
the Son of God?

 

There's no charge! However, may I ask for a small favor?

 

Whenever you give a sermon, perhaps you could just mention that your
nice new robe was made by Finkelstein, the Tailor?"

 

Jesus readily agreed and as promised, praised the virtues of His
Finkelstein robe whenever He spoke to the masses.

 

A few months later, while Jesus was again walking through Jerusalem, He
happened to walk past Finkelstein's shop and noted a huge line of people
waiting for Finkelstein's robes.

 

He pushed his way through the crowd to speak to him and as soon as
Finkelstein spotted Him he said: "Jesus, Jesus, look what you've done
for my business! Would you consider a partnership?"

 

"Certainly," replied Jesus. "Jesus & Finkelstein it is."

 

"Oh, no, no," said Finkelstein. "Finkelstein & Jesus. After all, I am the
craftsman."
The two of them debated this for some time.

 

Their discussion was long and spirited, but ultimately fruitful and they
finally came up with a mutually acceptable compromise.

 

A few days later, the new sign went up over Finkelstein's shop.

"Crowded Restaurant"

 

 

The restaurant where I took my two sons for a meal was crowded with fans
watching a sporting event on television. The harried waitress took our
order, but more than half an hour passed with no sign of her return.

 

I was trying to keep my kids from becoming restless when suddenly shouts
of victory came from the bar.

 

"Hey," commented my 11-year-old, "it sounds as if someone just got his
food."

 

 

"Parking Ticket"

 

 

A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city
because he was short of time and couldn't find a space with a meter.
Then he put a note under the windshield wiper that read: "I have circled
the block 10 times. If I don't park here, I'll miss my appointment.
Forgive us our trespasses."

 

When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer along with
this note "I've circled this block for 10 years. If I don't give you a
ticket I'll lose my job. Lead us not into temptation."
