In heaven, a priest arrives, where he's met by a couple of angels who offer a polite welcome.
Shortly after, a drunken bus driver arrives. His entrance is met with a grand celebration, complete with fireworks, and even God himself comes forward to greet him.
Perplexed, the priest approaches God and says:
- Forgive me, Lord, but I devoted my entire life to serving your church and your name. Why is my welcome so modest compared to this man?
God smiles and replies:
- My child, during your time, the church pews were seldom filled. However, when this man navigated the streets, people prayed fervently as never before.
