Perfection :
.
An evangelist had a great revival camp going. One night he was
up in front of a large audience, speaking on imperfection. He asked
his audience towards the end, “Has anyone ever known anyone who
has come CLOSE to the perfection of our lord, Jesus Christ?”
.
Nobody, of course raised their hand. So he issued the question again.
“Anybody! Has ANYONE ever known that kind of perfection?”
.
Finally a guy in the back raised his hand, so of course he was asked
to stand up. “Tell us. Tell us who you knew who was so close to
perfection.”
.
The man responded, “My wife’s first husband.”
