THE
ARGUMENT
Jesus and Satan were having an ongoing
argument about
who managed to get the most out
of his computer.
This had been going on for days and God was
tired of
hearing all of the bickering.
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 they sat at the keyboards and typed
away.
They did spreadsheets.
They wrote reports.
They sent faxes.
They sent out 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 just a few minutes before the two hours
were up a
lightening flashed across the sky.
The thunder rolled
and the rains came down hard.
And of course the
electricity went off.
Satan was upset. He fumed and
fussed and he ranted and raved.
All to no avail. The
electricity stayed off.
But after a bit the rains stopped
and the electricity came back on.
Satan screamed,
"I lost it all when the power went
off. What am I
going to do? What happened to Jesus' work?"
Jesus just sat and smiled.
Again Satan asked about the work that Jesus
had done.
As Jesus turned his computer back on the screen glowed
and when he pushed "print ," it
was all there.
"How did he do it?" Satan asked.
God smiled and said, "Jesus
Saves."
