"SIN Separates,JESUS Restores"
A cut and restored rope routine
A piece of rope is handed to a volunteer from the audience for inspection to make sure it is not a trick rope. Explain to the audience that you want to cut the rope into two separate pieces that are exactly the same size. Have volunteer cut the rope. The two pieces of rope are not the same size so you tell the audience that you are going to have to tie the rope back together because you made a mistake. While tying the rope back together tell the audience that Adam and Eve made a mistake too. God told them not to eat the fruit from one tree in the garden,but they ate the fruit anyway. Any time someone does something God says not to do it is called sin and sin separates us from God just like the rope was separated into two pieces. When the rope is tied back together show the knot to them on the rope tell them the knot represents Jesus;as you are removing the knot from the rope tell them that when we confess our sins and trust Him as savior we wo'nt be separated from God any more. Show the restored rope. There are a number of methods for cut and restored ropes that may be used. Look for "magic books" at your local library.
"ALL THE SAME" John 3:16
Three ropes of different length are shown; then they all appear to be the same length.
Three ropes of different length represent us; we are all different. When ropes appear to be the same explain that, God doesn't look at us or love us like we are different; He loves us all the same. He treats us all the same. For God so loved the world ; that's everybody! It doesn't matter to God who we are,we are all the same in His eyes. This trick may be purchased from magic dealers. It's called "My favorite rope trick" or "Professors nightmare"
