How do you get to heaven?

Lesson: Can't fool those Scottish kids

I was testing the children in my local 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 garden, 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 sweets 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 six-year-old boy from Paisley ( Scotland ) shouted out....

"YOU'VE GOT TAE BE F**KIN' DEAD!"
