How Do You Get To Heaven?
"If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale, and gave 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 grass, 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 sweets to all the children and loved my wife, would that get me into heaven?" I asked them again. Once more they all answered, "NO!" "Well," I continued, thinking they were a good bit more theologically sophisticated than I had given them credit for, "then how can I get into heaven?" A five-year-old boy shouted out, "You gotta be dead!"
