Magician displays a white rope, and while you are watching it, suddenly and starting, it changes to red. Easy to do, but it will fool your friends.
There are few things that compare with the dazzling beauty of a freshly fallen, pure, white snow. Snow is so white that it is used as a metaphor in Isaiah 18:1 niv "Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.”
It is hard to imagine how white it really is until you have something to compare it too.
A man looked out his window and saw a little dog bouncing and playing in the snow. What was that dingy, dog doing in his yard,” was his first thought. Then he realized it was his own little dog that he had always groomed and kept perfectly clean. The dog only looked dingy when compared to the brilliantly white snow.
Pure white, white as snow…white a symbol of purity and righteousness. How can that purity be attained? Trying really, really hard to do the right thing? Going to church? Moving away from everyone and everything that is impure—maybe like a cabin in the woods with no neighbors? No, while all these things are good, they won’t make you as white as snow.
We have all sinned, all of us. Those sins keep us from attaining the goal or hitting God’s mark of being righteous. But through the gift of God’s Son, Jesus, we can be forgiven. We can be pure, like snow.
(Show the red rope now.) Not because we earned it, but because Jesus freely gave His life so we could be saved.
This color changing rope trick is an easy to use magic trick to illustrate the salvation message. Use it for Easter or anytime you want a salvation visual.
