JustJeff Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Sarah first laughs for disbelief and then joy. Abraham laughs in skepticism. It just goes to show you that we are God's creation and a part of His emotional expression. Sandy Patty once sang a song about seeing God dance and hearing God sing. To hear Him laugh with joy and express Fatherly humor to His children...wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewell Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 First their laughter was one of derision, now it is a laughter of joy. God's sense of humor includes trust and faithfulness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissioned Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Q1. (21:5-7) The name Isaac means "he laughs." What is Sarah's laughter like now compared to her laughter in 18:12-15 and Abraham's laughter in 17:17? Back in 17:17 both their laughter was one of "can't wait to see that happen," and in 18:12-15 their laughter is that of joy of finally having a son. What does this tell you about God's sense of humor? God is a God of impossibilities and was probably amused at their laughter earlier and after the birth join in with their joy.

emmaus Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Their laughter now was honest and joyful, where before it had been ironic or sarcastic. I think God enjoys our joyful, happy laughter and maybe he laughs with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is Sarah's laughter like now compared to her laughter in 18:12-15 and Abraham's laughter in 17:17? What does this tell you about God's sense of humor? Sarah 's laughter is a mixture of heavy emotions , possibiliy of unbelief mixed with hope - in any case, the news is so astounding that it does provoke a response God laughs at us - seeing our lives because we cannot possibiliy fully trust him at all times , as we are in the flesh !!!!!

What is Sarah's laughter like now compared to her laughter in 18:12-15 and Abraham's laughter in 17:17? What does this tell you about God's sense of humor? Sarah's earlier laughter and Abraham's laughter were the laughter of disbelief. This laughter is the laughter of joy, delight and amazement. All timing is God's timing. God must enjoy amazing human-beings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is Sarah's laughter like now compared to her laughter in 18:12-15 and Abraham's laughter in 17:17? What does this tell you about God's sense of humor? At first she laughed because she did not belief, and after she laughed because of joy. God's timing is the best, and whatever he as promised, it does not matter how long it takes, it will be fulfilled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul H Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 The name Isaac means "he laughs." What is Sarah's laughter like now compared to her laughter in 18:12-15 and Abraham's laughter in 17:17? What does this tell you about God's sense of humor? On the two previous occasions, the laughter had been laughter at the absurdity of what was being promised... incredulous laughter. You can almost here then saying you cannot be serious!! Now though Sarah's laughter is one of pure joy and happiness. I am not sure what it says about God's sense of humour, but it does show that God always follows through with His plans and with His promises even in the face of incredulous laughter.

Foofee's Nana Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 The name Isaac means "he laughs." What is Sarah's laughter like now compared to her laughter in 18:12-15 and Abraham's laughter in 17:17? I think her first laughter was of total shock, that kind where our nerves get the best of us....this seemed too far fetched for her to believe , even of her God.....and I think Abraham fell down n the ground in laughter. Now...a son was hers to hold, to love, to cherish and she felt the pure laughter of joy. God's promise...she held in her arms. What does this tell you about God's sense of humor? God loves to get the last laugh....and make things turn out for His glory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Q1. (21:5-7) The name Isaac means "he laughs." What is Sarah's laughter like now compared to her laughter in 18:12-15 and Abraham's laughter in 17:17? What does this tell you about God's sense of humor? Sarah's laughter is one of joy with belief. Before her laughter was laughter that doubted that this could happen to her. I think this really lets us know that God probably laughed because of Sarah's unbelief and all he wanted to do was put a little more joy in Sarah and Abraham's life by blessing them with a son. God's thoughts and ways are much higher than ours. We must believe Him and only Him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pastor neal Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Q1. (21:5-7) The name Isaac means "he laughs." What is Sarah's laughter like now compared to her laughter in 18:12-15 and Abraham's laughter in 17:17? What does this tell you about God's sense of humor? In verse 18:12-15, Sarah's laugh was one of contempt and disbelief. At the birth of of Isaac her laughter became a giddy sense as she realized that God can do what He promises. I believe that Abraham's laughter was partially at Sarah and partially at the fact that he now had an heir to his wealth. Someone with whom he could raise without Sarah's negative input. Does God have a sense of humor? Look at the platypus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wifee Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 1a)Sarah’s laughter is now joy and how God has been faithful and provided a son as he promised her. Her laughter earlier was in mocking amusement that God would promise a child to one so old &barren. b)God is not joking when he makes promises and he gave the name as a constant reminder to Abraham &Sarah. God is full of love, patience, kindness, mercy,He is faithful to his promises.His humour is controlled. He waits for us to realise sometimes that what his Word says is best for us really!

royk Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Q1. (21:5-7) The name Isaac means "he laughs." What is Sarah's laughter like now compared to her laughter in 18:12-15 and Abraham's laughter in 17:17? What does this tell you about God's sense of humor Such an interesting consideration. I recall how Jesus said to take the plank out of one's own eye before trying to take the splinter of wood from one other's eye. I saw this done in a movie of th ebook of Matthew and it was done with great humor. It make me feel God is telling me to lighten up and enjoy life because he hs got it all under his control, and it will end up being good for me; I just need to trust him better and listen closely to all that is happening; i.e. to "remain in Jesus, and ..." let Him do it for me.
