How do we get to heaven

[CATCH AND EAT]

Heaven

A preacher told this story:

I was testing the children in my Sunday school class to see if they understood the concepts of grace and salvation. 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 all answered.

"If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the yard, and kept everthing 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 wife, 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, in the back of the room shouted out, " YOU GOTTA BE DEAD!!!".


I got a hoot out of this story. Hope it brings a little laughter to your day too.

:grin: :grin: Oh the wisdom of a child!! Sometimes we all can learn from a word spoken by a little child. Remember the words of our Lord, "Unless you become like a little child, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven." Thanks for the post, Bernie......God Bless, Terry
