2. Gone!
• Good morning children.
• I’m going to tell you a
little story today.
• But first I have a few
questions.
• Do you know how to
remove sin?
• Do you know where sins
go?
3. Gone!
Story
• "Hello, Arthur, What are
you doing?"
• "Digging a grave."
• "Digging a grave? Who's
dead? Bowser?"
• "Not for your life, worse
than that."
• "Did your old cat die?
4. Gone!
• "Worse than that too, Mary
Jane, and I want you to go
away and let me bury my
dead myself.
• I'm ashamed of them."
• But Mary Jane was one of
those children who was
very curious.
• She sat still and thought she
would wait and see whom
he put in the grave.
• Deeper and deeper Arthur
dug until he had a hole two
feet deep.
5. Gone!
• Then he sat down by his
solemn looking grave,
drew a paper out of his
pocket, opened it and
began to read what
seemed to be a long list
of something, while
tears ran down his
cheeks.
• Mary Jane could stand
it no longer.
6. Gone!
• "Arthur, whatever is the
matter with you?
• Are you going daffy?
• What are you crying
about?
• I'd like to know! Let me
see that list."
• And in spite of all Arthur's
efforts she got it away
from him, and she read:
Sins That Must Be Buried.
7. Gone!
• Mary Jane was
dumfounded.
• "Arthur, whatever are you
thinking about, burying
this list of sins?
• Why they're in
you, boy, and to get them
buried for keeps, you'll
have to bury yourself."
• Arthur looked up through
his tears.
8. Gone!
• "Bury myself?
• Mary Jane, why it's you
that' going daffy, not me!"
• "Well, Arthur, it's all right to
bury them, but not in dirt."
• "Well, where can I bury
them, so I'll never find them
again?”
• "Well, I'll tell you," said
Mary Jane. "Mother told
me.
• 'God will cast all our sins
into the depths of the sea.'
9. Gone!
• The reason God can
forgive sin, Arthur is
because the Lord Jesus
died for our sins.
• 'He bore our sins in His
body on the tree.'
• When you receive Him
as your Saviour, He
takes away your sins."
