Emphasis Preaching Journal

There is a story told of an individual who appeared at the Pearly Gates and asked Saint Peter for entrance. Saint Peter said, "All right, tell me, what is Easter?" The individual replied, "Oh, that's the day that some fellow discovered America, isn't it?" "No, that's wrong, and you'll have to go below," said Peter. Another man came along, asking to enter heaven. Saint Peter asked him, "What's Easter?" This man replied, "Oh, that's the day the big, fat jolly man with a big bag of toys comes around." "No, you're wrong," said Peter.
