“Who can tell me in one word the way to get to heaven?” the Sunday school teacher asked her four and five-year-olds. Several hands went up.
“Okay, Peggy?”
“Sunday school,” replied Peggy promptly.
“What do you say, Nancy?”
Nancy suggested, “Praying,” and Margie added, “Being good.” But not one of these answers was the correct answer the teacher was waiting for.
Then small, brown-eyed Megan shyly put up her hand and whispered, “Jesus.”
