Have you ever lost anything in the ocean? You can pretty much you kiss it goodbye. You probably won’t ever see it again.
Years ago I was scuba diving, and I was cruising along at about 15 feet below the surface. I could see the ocean floor, which was about 30 feet below the surface. I went out a little further, and the ocean floor dropped to 60 feet. I went to a depth of 30 feet and ventured out even further, until the ocean floor was at about 80 feet below the surface. Then I came to a ledge that dropped off, and I could no longer see the bottom of the ocean. I took one look into that dark abyss, turned around and went back the way I came. That is a long way down. If you drop something there, you will never see it again.

The Bible says of God, “You
will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea” (Micah 7:19 NKJV).
God will take our sin and throw it into the deepest part of the sea. He
will take our iniquities and cast them into the depths of the ocean. God
also promises, “For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and
their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more” (Hebrews
8:12 NKJV). Isn’t that good news? God will forgive your sin. He will
forget your sin. We should not choose to remember what God has chosen to
forget. It is forgiven.
The Bible tells the story of two thieves on the cross. They were being crucified on the same day Jesus was. The word thief the Bible uses is a much more intense word. They were not just men who stole things. They probably were murderers and insurrectionists revolting against Roman tyranny. That is why Rome would hang people like that on crosses.
