A man dies and goes to Heaven. When Jesus meets him at the Pearly Gates, He
says, "Here's how it works. You need 100 points to make it into heaven. You
tell me all the good things you've done, and I'll give you a certain number
of points for each item depending on how good it was. When you reach 100
points, you get in."
"Okay," the man says, "I was married to the same woman for 50 years and
never cheated on her, even in my heart." "That's wonderful," says Jesus,
"That's worth three points!" "Three points?" he says, slightly concerned.
"Well, I attended church all my life and supported its ministry with my
tithe and service." "Terrific!" says Jesus. "That's certainly worth a
point." "One point!?!" he moans, now really getting worried.
"I started a soup kitchen in my city and worked in a shelter for homeless
veterans." "Fantastic, that's good for two more points," he says. "Two
points!" the man cries. "At this rate the only way I'll get into Heaven is
by the grace of God!"
Jesus nods and says, "Bingo, 100 points! Come on in my son!"
