Day 17
One day Satan and Jesus were having a conversation. “Yes, sir,” Satan gloated. “I just caught a whole world full of people! I set a trap and got them all!”
“What are you going to do with them?” Jesus asked.
“I’m going to have some fun!” Satan replied with glee. “I’m going to teach them how to lie and cheat and steal and kill. This is going to be great!”
“And what will you do when you’re through with them?” Jesus asked.
“Then I’ll kill them,” Satan said proudly.
“How much do you want for them?” Jesus asked.
“Oh, you don’t want those people! They aren’t any good. They’ll just hate you. They’ll cause you nothing but misery and heartbreak, and they’ll kill you in the end. You don’t want those people!”
“How much?” Jesus asked again.
Satan looked at Him and sneered. “Your LIFE!”
“DONE!”
Then Jesus paid the price.
