Testing The Sunday School Class

[kyreb1862]

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 day,

mowed the yard,

and kept everything 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 husband,

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 shouted out,

'YOU GOTTA BE DEAD.'
