When Jimmy was just a wee lad, he went regularly to Sunday School. One day, his teacher decided to test Jimmy to see if he understood the concept of getting to Heaven. She asked him, “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!” Jimmy 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, the teacher 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?”
Again, Jimmy answered, “NO!”
The Sunday School teacher was just bursting with pride for him.
Well, she continued, “then how can I get into Heaven?”
A very confident young Jimmy shouted out, “YOU GOTTA BE DEAD.”
