Everyone knows that Jesus wept at the tomb of Lazarus and over the city of Jerusalem.  Did you ever consider the laughter of Christ, the wisdom and word of God?  Consider:

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.5  Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.  --Psalm 2:4,5.

Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?  But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision. --Ps. 59:7,8

Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;  But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:  I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;  When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.  --Prov 1:24-27

 Conclusion?  Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?  But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God....   Rom. 2:4,5
