DO YOU REMEMBER RED SKELTON?

This joke was told on the "Red Skelton Show" many years ago, so you know it's old. However, it so accurately describes most Christians, that I just have to share it with you again.

There was a man who woke up to find himself in the middle of a flood. Soon he was on the second floor, looking out of his second story window, as the water was flooding the second story.

A man in a row boat paddled over to him and said: "Get in, I'll save you". The man, demonstrating his great faith replied: "No thanks! The Lord will save me!" So the man in the boat rowed away.

An hour later, the man was standing on his roof, with the water up to his chest. Then another row boat came along and said: "Get in, I'll save you". The man, again, demonstrating his great faith replied: "No thanks! The Lord will save me!" So the other man in the boat rowed away.

Soon after this, the man was standing on the top of his chemeny on his tip toes, and the water was up to his neck! A helocopter came down and threw him a line. A guy said: "Grab the line - we'll save you!"

Again, the man, sticking to his incredible faith said: "No thanks - The Lord will save me!" Soon after, the man drowned. He died and went to heaven. Now, standing before God, he couldn't help but ask: "God! Why didn't you save me? I had faith and believed in you!"

God answered him and said: "I Sent you Two Row Boats and a Helocopter!!!"
