Thread: Getting into heaven

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 Sunday, mowed the yard, and kept
everything neat and tidy, would that get me into heaven?"
Again the answer was "NO!". now I was starting to smile, this was
fun!

"Well then, if I was kind to animals and gave sweets to all the
children, and loved my family, 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 do I get into Heaven?"

A six-year old boy shouted out "YOU GOTTA BE DEAD!"
