Jesus and the devil were arguing over which one of them was the better computer programmer.

    “I am!” Jesus shouted.

    “No, I am!” the devil countered.

    “I am!”

    “I am!”

    “Me!”

    “No, me!”

    “ENOUGH!” God bellowed, and the whole universe disappeared into darkness. When the lights came back on, two computers were sitting in front of them.

    God said, “Now, whoever makes the best computer program in 20 minutes wins.”

    Jesus and the devil both sat down, typing and clicking furiously. This went on for about 15 minutes, but then there was a power failure, and everything went dark. When everything came back up again, the computer screens were both blank.

    The devil tried in vain to get back everything he had lost. He came up empty-handed.

    Jesus pressed one key and it all came back.

    The devil looked at him in astonishment. “No way! How did you do that?”

    Jesus turned to him and smiled, and said, “Everybody knows Jesus saves.”
