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 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 down Satan and Jesus sat at the keyboards and

typed away. They did spreadsheets. They wrote reports.

They sent faxes. They sent e-mail. They downloaded. They

did some genealogy reports. They made cards. They did every

known job. About ten minutes before their time was up,

lightning 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

rebooted their computers. Satan started searching

frantically, screaming Its gone! Its 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. Satan observed this

and became very irate: Wait! He must have cheated.

How did he do that?

God shrugged and said, Jesus saves.
