Jesus and Satan were having an on-going argument about who was better on
the computer. They had been going at it for days, and frankly God was
tired of hearing all the bickering. Finally fed up, God said, "THAT'S IT! I have
had enough. I am going to set up a test that will run for two hours, and
from those results, I will judge who does the better job."
So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away.
They moused.
They faxed.
They e-mailed.
They e-mailed with attachments.
They downloaded.
They did spreadsheets!
They wrote reports.
They created labels and cards.
They created charts and graphs.
They did some genealogy reports.
They did every job known to man.
Jesus worked with heavenly efficiency, and Satan was faster than hell.
Then, ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed
across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured, and, of course, the power
went off.
Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in
the underworld. Jesus just sighed. Finally the electricity came 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
of his files from the past two hours of work. Satan observed this and
became irate. "Wait!" he screamed. "That's not fair! He cheated! How
come he has all his work and I don't have any?"
God just shrugged and said,
JESUS SAVES.
