12/08/09 Grif.Net – Drawing the Nativity

The Sunday after Christmas, the Sunday School teacher told her students
about an angel appearing to Joseph in a dream, warning him about danger to
the baby Jesus and telling him how to escape from it. After the story time,
the students were given an opportunity to draw a picture about the story.
Most of the pictures were predictable, but Johnny’s had an odd element in
it.

“Johnny, I see Joseph and Mary with the baby Jesus but they are flying in an
airplane. Where did you come up with that idea?”

“Well, teacher, you told us all about the flight to Egypt.”

The teacher caught her breath. “Oh, my. But who is the THIRD adult with
Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus?”

“I got that from another Bible story. It’s Pontius the Pilate.”
