Jesus and Satan were having an ongoing argument about who was better
on the computer. They had been going at it for days, and God was
tired of hearing all of the bickering. Finally God said, "Cool it! I
am going to set up a test that will run two hours, and I 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 emails. They sent out emails with attachments. They
downloaded. They did some genealogy reports. They made cards. They
did every known job.
But 10 minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed
across the sky, thunder clapped, 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 and screamed, "It's gone! It's all
gone! I lost everything when the power went off!"
Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from
the past two hours of diligent work. Satan observed this and became
irate. "Wait! He cheated! How did he do it?"
God shrugged and said, "Jesus saves."
