A teacher was testing the children in her Sunday school class to see if they understood the concept of getting into heaven. She asked them, “If I sold my house and my car, had a big rummage 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, cut the grass and kept everything tidy, would that get me into heaven?” Again the answer was “NO!” By now the teacher 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 husband, would that get me into heaven?” Again, they all answered “NO!” Bursting with pride for them, the teacher continued, “So, how can I get into heaven?” Five-year-old Sean shouted out, “YOU HAVE TO BE DEAD!”
