For those of you who haven't heard this one yet...there must be one or two of you, right?
Jesus and Satan have an argument as to who is the better computer programmer. Their argument goes on for a few hours until they agree to hold a contest with God as the judge. They turn on their computers and begin. They type furiously for several hours, lines of code streaming across their screens. Seconds before the end of the competition, a bolt of lightening strikes, taking out the power. Moments later, power is restored and God announces that the contest is over.
God asks Satan to show his work. Satan becomes visibly upset and cries, "I have nothing! I lost it when all the power went out." God says, "Very well, then, let us see if Jesus fared any better."
Jesus enters a command and the screen comes to life in vivid display, the voices of an angelic choir pour forth from the speakers. Satan is astonished. He stutters, "But...but...but how? I lost everything yet Jesus' program is intact! How did He do it?"
God chuckled. "It's easy...Jesus saves!"
Don't groan too loudly - you might disturb the others around you!
Still - it's true! Jesus saves! And because this message is true, you and I who believe have everything!
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12
Since we have been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through Him! Romans 5:9
So Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people, and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him. Romans 9:28
It's no joke, is it? JESUS SAVES!
