A Sunday school teacher asked his 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 replied.
“If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the lawn and kept everything neat and tidy, would that get me into heaven?”
Again the answer was “No!”
“If I was kind to animals and gave candy to all the children, would that get me into heaven?”
Once again they all shouted “No!”
“Well then,” he continued, thinking to himself that the Sunday school class was a bit more theologically advanced than he had given them credit for, “how can I get into heaven?”
A five-year-old boy shouted from the back of the room, “You gotta be dead!”
