Jesus saves

Someone sent this to me in email:
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 the bickering.

Finally, God said, "Cool it. I am going to set up a test that will take two hours, and I will judge who does the better job."

So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away. The y moused. They did spreadsheets. They wrote reports. They generated web pages. They prepared faxes. They wrote e-mails. They did some genealogy reports. They made cards. They did every known computer 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 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."

there is at least one other version of this joke.. this one goes like: god wanted to send someone to earth to redeem mankind. he set up a competition between jesus, moses and elijah. then the middle part.. the end line is - so while moses may be able to part the seas, and elijah can provide endless flour and oil, only jesus saves.
