Jesus and Satan have an argument as to who is the better programmer. This
goes on for a few hours until they come to an agreement to hold a contest,
with God the Father as the judge.
They set themselves before their computers and begin. They are given the
task, and began to type furiously, lines of code streaming up the screen for
several hours straight. Seconds before the end of the competition, a bolt of
lightning strikes, taking out the electricity. Moments later, the power is
restored, and God announces that the contest is over.
He asks Satan to show what he has come up with. Satan indignantly protests,
"I have nothing! I lost it all when the power went out." "Very well, then,"
says God, "let us see if Jesus fared any better."Jesus enters a command and
the screen comes to life with a vivid display, the voices of an angelic
choir pour forth from the speakers. Satan is astonished.
He stutters, "B-b-but how? I lost everything, yet Jesus' program is intact!
How did he do it?"
God chuckles, "Satan, when are you going to learn ...Jesus saves!"
