Out of the mouths of babes...
I was testing the children in my Sunday school class to see
if they understood the concept of getting to
heaven.
I asked them, "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?"
"NO!" the children 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!"
By now I was starting to smile. Hey, this was
fun!
"Well, then, if I was kind to animals and
gave candy to all the children, and loved
my husband, would that get me into
Heaven?" I asked them again.
Again, they all answered, "NO!"
I was just bursting with pride for them.
Well, I continued, "then how can I get into
Heaven?"
A five-year-old boy shouted out,
"YOU GOTTA BE DEAD."
