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 sat Satan and Jesus at their keyboards and they began to type 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 did some genealogy reports. They made cards. They did every known job. But ten minutes before their time was up, lightening 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 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 of his files from the past two hours. Satan observed this and became irate. “Wait! He cheated, How did he do it?”

God shrugged and said, “Jesus saves.”
