Jesus is a graphic adventure game developed and published by Enix. It was first released in 1987 on the PC-8801, FM-7, X1, and the MSX2 and was later ported to the Famicom in 1989 as Jesus: Kyōfu no Bio Monster ("Jesus: Bio Monster of Terror"). A sequel, Jesus II, was released on the PC-8801, PC-9801, and X68000 in 1991.

The game's name refers to a space station called J.E.S.U.S., named after the central Christian figure Jesus. The ship is shaped like a double-edged sword à la Book of Revelation. Its inhabitants go on to fight a mysterious demonic alien from Halley's Comet.
