Alexandra Flynn of Fremont, Nebraska, was looking forward to the homecoming dance. She left home in high spirits, but she did not have her high school ID with her. When the man at the door refused her admission without her ID, she went home to get it.

Unable to find it, her mother went with her back to the dance to identify her and to explain. Again, the daughter was refused admission without the ID. Alex had the tickets in her hand but still was not admitted. Even though Alexandra Flynn of Freemont High is Student Body President, plays cello in the Allstate orchestra, is on the Honor Roll, is the school's number one cheerleader, and she spent hours decorating the gym for the Homecoming Dance, she was still not admitted.

Did I mention she was homecoming queen?

But, she never did get in.

In a similar way, getting into heaven isn't a matter of our good deeds and accomplishments. Without Jesus Christ, we have no ID to get into heaven.
