Jeux d'esprit
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 all 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 their keyboards
and typed away. They
moused. They did faxes. They sent e-mails.
They sent out e-mails 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,
lightening 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. Satan observed this and
became irate.
"Wait! He cheated!
How did he do it?"
God shrugged and said,
"Jesus Saves."
