Cryptic Message

A new pastor was visiting the homes of his parishioners. At one house it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door. Therefore, he took out a business card and wrote "Revelation 3:20" on the back of it and stuck it in the door.

When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that his card had been returned. Added to it was this cryptic message, "Genesis 3:10".

Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of laughter. Revelation 3:20 begins, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock." Genesis 3:10 reads, "And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself."


Thanks to Paul (A.).

  2. So that's why you didn't answer the door when I popped by your place while I was in England.

    (I didn't really, lest you think I made a covert visit, and I'm just now confessing.)
