Jesus and Satan were having a discussion as to which of them was the better
programmer. This went on for a few hours until they decided to hold a
contest, with God Himself as the Judge.
They sat before their computers and began. They typed furiously, lines of
code streaming up the screen, for several hours straight.
Seconds before the end of the competition, a bolt of lightning struck,
and the electricity went off. Moments later, the power was restored, and
God announced that the contest was over.
He asked Satan to show what he has come up with.
Satan was visibly upset, and cried, "I have nothing. I lost it all
when the power went out."
"Very well, then,"" said God, "let's see if Jesus
fared any better."
Jesus entered a command, and the screen comes to life in vivid display,
the voices of an angelic choir pour forth from the speakers. Satan was
astonished. He stuttered, "B-b-but how?! I lost everything, yet
Jesus' program is intact! How did he do it?"
God chuckled and said, "Everybody knows... Jesus
saves."
