Funny Joke: 🛟 Refused Rescue

A flash flood swept over an area, stranding a man in his house…

As the water rose, a rescue team came by in a boat.

“Get in,” the rescuers said, “We’ll take you to safety”.

“No,” said the man, “I have faith in the Lord, He will save me.”

The rains continued and soon the man was forced up onto his roof to avoid drowning.

Soon, another boat came by…

“Sir, please get in,” the rescuers in the boat said, “The waters are rising – We’ll take you to safety”.

“No,” said the man again, “I have faith in the Lord, He will save me.”

The boat left, and soon the man was barely able to keep his head above the water.

The water became rougher and a helicopter was dispatched to save the man.

“We’ll lower a rope – Get in the helicopter!” yelled the rescuers from above…

“The water shows no sign of abating, You’re sure to drown!”

Once again, the man refused, “I have faith in the Lord,” he said calmly, “He will save me.”

Eventually the man did in fact drown.

When he got to heaven, he saw the Lord and approached him.

“What happened?” asked the man…

“I had faith that you would save me from drowning – Why didn’t you?”

“Hey,” replied the Lord…

“I sent two boats and a helicopter – What else did you want?”
