Jokingly telling one's friend "Jesus of Bethlehem"

Q: What is the ruling if someone jokingly tells his friend "Jesus of Bethlehem" because his friends says Jesus when he is surprised by something?

A: This is ignorance of the worst order. He should make taubah and correct himself.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
