Jesus Saves

Jesus and Satan were having an ongoing argument about who was better on
his computer.
They had been going at it for days, and God was tired of hearing Satan's
bickering.
Finally, God said, "Cool it. I am going to set up a test which will take
two hours and then,
Satan, you'll have proof of 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 downloaded.
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 in 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."
