Between
moments of dispensing wisdom, it seems that historical religious leaders
had also learned software programming. One day, a great contest was
held to test their skills.
After days and days of fierce competition, only two leaders remained
for the last day’s event: Jesus and Mohammed.
The judge described the software application required for the final
test, and gave the signal to start writing code.
The two contestants feverishly typed away on their keyboards. Routines,
classes, applets and applications flew by on their screens at incredible
speeds. Windows, dialogs, and other intricate graphics began forming
on their monitors.
The clock showed that the contest would soon be finished. Suddenly,
a bolt of lightening flashed and the power went out. After a moment
it came back on-just in time for the clock to announce that the
last competition was over.
The judge asked the two contestants to reveal their finished software.
Mohammed angrily said that he’d lost it all in the power outage.
The judge turned to the other competitor.
Jesus smiled, clicked a mouse and a dazzling application appeared
on his screen. After just a few moments, the judge was clearly impressed
and declared Jesus the victor.
When asked why the decision was made, the judge pointed out the
unique characteristic that set the winner apart from all the other
leaders:
Jesus saves.
