Jesus Saves

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".
