Would That Get Me Into Heaven?
Published Jun 27, 2003
Pastor Bill was teaching his Sunday school class. He asked the class, "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 all answered.
"If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the yard, and kept everything neat and tidy, would that get me into Heaven?" The Pastor continued.
Again, the answer was, "NO!"
"Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave candy to all the children, and loved my wife, would that get me into Heaven?" Pastor Bill again asked.
Again, they all answered, "NO!"
"Well", He continued, "then how can I get into Heaven?"
Five-year-old Little Johnny shouted out, "YOU GOTTA BE DEAD!"
