To determine whether the kids in her Sunday school class comprehended the idea of going to paradise, a teacher was giving them tests.
“Would I get into Heaven if I had a big garage sale, sold my house and car, and donated all of my money to the church?” she asked them.
“No!” the kids replied.
“Would I enter Heaven if I kept everything tidy, mowed the yard, and cleaned the church every day?”
Once more, the response was “NO!”
She was grinning now. She thought, Hey, they’re getting it!
Would I enter Heaven, then, if I loved my husband, fed the kids candy, and showed kindness to the animals? She enquired.
Once more, they all said, “NO!”
She simply couldn’t contain her pride in them.
“Well,” she went on,
“How can I enter Heaven then?”
Johnny, who was five years old, yelled out,
“You’re going to die.”
