I don’t think there is one person on this planet that hasn’t heard of Forrest Gump. If you haven’t you’ve been living under a rock. Below is a funny joke about Forrest Gump that was submitted. And here we love good jokes hope you enjoy:
The day finally arrived when Forrest Gump goes to Heaven.
He is at the Pearly Gates, met by St. Peter himself. St. Peter says, “Well, Forrest, it’s certainly good to see you. We have heard a lot about you. I must inform you that the place is filling up fast, and we’ve been administering an entrance examination for everyone. The test is short and you have to pass before you can get into heaven.
1) What days of the week begin with the letter T?
2) How many seconds are there in a year?
3) What is God’s first name?”
Forrest says, “Well, the first one – how many days in the week begin With the letter “T”?
That one’s easy.
That’d be Today and Tomorrow.”
The Saint’s eyes open wide and he exclaims!! “Forrest, that’s not what I was thinking, but ….. I’ll give you credit for that answer.
“How about the second one?” asks St. Peter.
“How many seconds in a year?”
“Now that one’s harder,” says Forrest, “but I thunk and thunk and guess the only answer can be twelve.”
Astounded, St. Peter says, “Twelve? Twelve? Forrest, how in Heaven’s name could you come up with twelve seconds in a year?”
“Shucks, there’s gotta be twelve: January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd.”
“Hold it,” interrupts St. Peter. “I see where you’re going with this, and I’ll have to give you credit for that one, too. Let’s go on with the next and final question.”
“Can you tell me God’s first name?”
“Sure” Forrest replied, “IT”S ANDY.”
“Andy?!” exclaimed an exasperated and frustrated St. Peter. “Okay, I can understand how you came up with your answers to my first two questions, but just how in the world did you come up with the name of Andy as the first name of God?”
“That was the easiest one of all,” Forrest replied. “I learnt it from the song…
ANDY WALKS WITH ME,
ANDY TALKS WITH ME,
ANDY TELLS ME I AM HIS OWN.”
St. Peter opens the Pearly Gates and said:
“Run, Forrest, run.” "
Frankly, I love this "interview" I saw on Facebook this morning! There is just something about Forrest that makes him so like-able that it is almost addicting. Question: will there be people like Forrest in heaven? I think the answer to that question is found in the following passage from Paul's letter to the Corinthians...
1 Corinthians, Chapter 1 (WEB)
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the lawyer of this world? Hasn’t God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom didn’t know God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe. 22 For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified; a stumbling block to Jews, and foolishness to Greeks, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 26 For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble; 27 but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong; 28 and God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nothing the things that are: 29 that no flesh should boast before God. 30 But of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption: 31 that, according as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
It is not by great wisdom or intellectual prowess that you will enter heaven, but rather by a heart that seeks to do God's will and when learning the truth of THE GOSPEL, obeys it!! Remember the first sermon of Peter (Acts 2:14-41) and respond as they did. And, come to think about it... eternal life (in heaven) will be like "a box of chocolates" - there will be a new delight with each and every passing day!!!! Run, Gary, Run....
