HAVE YOU FOUND JESUS?

One Sunday afternoon there was a drunken man who was staggering down a country path. He came upon a baptismal service at a pond. There were many to be baptized that day and the drunk, not knowing what was going on, got in the line to be baptized. Finally it was the drunk's turn to be baptized. The preacher asked him, "Sir, did you found Jesus?"

"No," the drunken man said.

With that, the preacher baptized him. The drunken man came up sputtering. The preacher asked again, "Sir, did you find Jesus?"

"No," the drunken man said.

With that, the preacher baptized him again. The preacher asked again, "Sir, did you find Jesus?"

"No," the drunken man said.

With that, the preacher baptized him again and this time made him stay under until his arms and legs were flailing. The preacher finally let him back up. The preacher asked again, "Did you find Jesus?"

The drunken man said, "No, are you sure this is where he fell in?"
