How to go to Heaven - Childrens' Answer

I was testing the children



in my 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 yard,



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 candy


to all the children,



played with them and loved them



 and loved my husband,


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 five-year-old boy shouted out,










'YOU GOTTA BE DEAD.'

31 Sunday B - Great Commandment - Shema

Reflection

‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your strength.’ Was this simply the setting of an impossible ideal? For it would seem that much of the history of the People of God is merely a demonstration of how much they failed to live up to their calling. It is as though the priests offering sacrifices in the temple were busy trying in vain to keep open the lines of communication between heaven and earth. Jesus, however, lived out the Shema to the very point of laying down his life and in so doing he unblocked the path between God and humanity. This is how he became our way to the Father and changed what seemed like an impossible ideal into a wonderful opportunity. We really can love God because he has loved us first.

 

Sean Goan

One of the earliest heresies dealt with by the early church was led by Marcion, a man who taught that the Old Testament had nothing useful to say about God. He affirmed that Jesus presented a new God in his Father. Marcion failed to grasp that the prophetic vision of Jesus was entirely rooted in the scriptures of the chosen people and this is very evident in the scene put before us now. At the heart of Judaism is the She ma, the call to love God wholly and completely. The reason for this call was an awareness that Yahweh had revealed himself to his people through the Sinai covenant and, in the events of the exodus, had shown himself as a compassionate saviour. The chosen people where therefore acutely aware that their faith was based on practice and could not be separated from love of neighbour. In the gospel, Jesus and the scribe agree on these essentials and so offer us a reminder of what is also at the core of Christianity.
