A slightly inebriated man stumbled into a baptismal =
service on a Sunday afternoon down by the river. He proceeded to =
wander into the water and stood next to the Minister. =
The Minister turned, noticed the old drunk and =
said, "Mister, are you ready to find Jesus?"
The =
drunk looks back and says, "Yes sir, I am."
The =
Minister then dunked the fellow under the water and pulled him right =
back up.
"Give us your testimony. How did you find =
Jesus?" the Minister asked.
"I didn’t!" said the =
drunk.
The Minister then dunked him under for quite a bit =
longer, brought him up and said, "Now brother, have you found Jesus =
yet?"
"No sir, I did not!" said the man =
again.
Disgusted, the Minister held the man under for at =
least 30 seconds this time, brought him up and demanded, "For the =
grace of God, have you found Jesus yet?"
The =
old drunk wiped his eyes and pleaded, "Are you sure this is where =
he fell in?"
