My oldest son is five years old.
I was a special guest in his kindergarten class this week for "Career Week."
I had the honor of explaining what a pastor did. (Read email, blog, twitter...stuff like that. JUST KIDDING!)
Last night I was putting my son to bed. He looks at me and says, "Dad, you will know the answer to this because you are a pastor. How do we get to Heaven."
I was excited. I explained salvation to him as a five-year-old may understand it.
He responded: "I know all that, dad. But How will Jesus get us to heaven? How do we get there?"
I explained that it wouldn't be an elevator or a rope or a ladder.
"He will just make sure we get there" was the best answer I could give.
I'm not sure he was happy with my answer.
I love kids!
...and what would you have said????

Does Jesus have a ladder?

Maaaaagic!
Seriously, if anyone can make magic it's Jesus, and if anything is magic it's dying (poof, your spirit is still alive independent of your body and you are [at some point] in Heaven, happily bonding with Jesus and your loved ones and historical figure types and whoever the heck else])...
Also, kids are way better at accepting and understanding that answer than grownups.
Your answer was probably my number 2, because extemporaneous speaking can be a real pain.
