History can reoccur

A man and his ever-nagging wife went on vacation to Jerusalem .  While they
were there, the wife passed away.

The undertaker told the husband, “You can have her shipped home for $5,000,
or you can bury her here, in The Holy Land, for $150."

The man thought about it and told him he would just have her shipped home.

The undertaker asked, "Why would you spend $5,000 to ship your wife home,
when it would be wonderful to be buried here and you would spend only
$150?"

The man replied, "Long ago a man died here, was buried here, and three days
later he rose from the dead.

“I just can't take that chance."

Learning Part

"A man who died here" in the story is Jesus.

The husband just did not want to take a risk that his wife would come back to life again as same as Jesus would before long ago.

Jerusalem = Jerusalem is the city in Israel where Jesus was born and passed away

Undertaker = Person whose business is the management of funeral / dead people
