Getting into Heaven
"If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale and gave all my money
to the church, would that get me into Heaven?",
I asked the children in my Sunday School class.
"NO!" the children all answered.
"If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the yard, and kept everything
neat
and tidy, would that get me into Heaven?" Again, the answer was, "NO!"
"Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave candy to all the children,
and loved my wife, would that get me into Heaven?", I asked them again.
Again, they all answered, "NO!"
"Well, I continued, then how can I get into Heaven?"
A five-year-old boy shouted out, "YOU GOTTA BE DEAD!"
