Jesus and Satan were having an on going argument about who was better at
using the computer.
They had been going at it for days, and God was tired of hearing all the
bickering. Finally, God said,"Cool it. I am going to set up a test which
will take two hours and it will judge who does the better job."
So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away. They moused.
They did spreadsheets. They wrote reports. They sent faxes. They sent
e-mail. They sent out e-mail with attachments. They down loaded. They did
some genealogy reports. They made cards. They did every known job. But, ten
minutes before the time was up, lightning suddenly flashed across the sky,
thunder rolled, the rain poured, and of course, the electricity went off.
Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the
underworld. Jesus just sighed. The electricity finally flickered back on,
and each of them restarted their computers. Satan started searching
frantically screaming, "It's gone! It's all gone! I lost everything when
the
power went out!"
Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all his files from the past
two hours. Satan observed this and became even more irate. "Wait! He
cheated! How did he do it??!!"
God shrugged and said, "Jesus Saves."
