I recently observed a number of people laughing in different situations. Someone told a funny joke, and people laughed in response. A young person was clumsy, and people laughed. A man misunderstood a current event, and people laughed. At a time of tension, someone noticed something funny, and laughter relieved the tension. A couple was feeling emotionally close, and laughter resulted.
Laughter is a strange and common thing.

Is laughter the Best Medicine?
Is laughter primarily hurtful, or healing?
Does God’s Word have anything to say about laughter?
For the next weeks, we will be examining what the Bible says about laughter.
