“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?” the teacher asked the children in her Sunday School class.
“NO!” the children all answered.
“If I cleaned the church daily, mowed the yard, and kept everything neat and tidy, would that get me into Heaven?”
Again, the answer was, “NO!”
“Well, if I was kind to animals, 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!”
“Well” she continued, “then how can I get into Heaven?”
A five-year-old boy shouted out, “YOU GOTTA BE DEAD.”
