| Children | Jesus tells a story about a poor man who is so hungry he wants to eat the scraps from the rich man’s table. When he dies the poor man goes straight to heaven. The rich man wants to be there too, but it is too late for him! He had many chances to do what God wanted – but he didn’t listen. |
