Eggs, eggs, colored eggs and bunnies, this brings back a rhyme that we sing with toddlers – but it’s not funny:
‘Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall, all the kings horses and all the kings men, couldn’t put Humpty together again”. An egg without hope – only broken pieces, but then…
There’s another version of this story; do you remember children, back in old times? “Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. Humpty Dumpty shouted “AMEN” God will put me together again!” Remember this? from those Mother Goose Christian nursery rhymes!
This is a version with hope. Hope is what we need, not in a man or a plan or lottery win – what the people need is …
a bended knee, and a broken heart, and a humble plea. To the God of the Universe Who gave power to the children, young and very old, to be part of the King’s family – when believing in His Son.
What is impossible with men, is possible with God- this is the good news of God’s word! This is the reason for the bunnies and eggs- new life in Christ – broken pieces put together- a symbol of birth and moving forward!
OK, so the rhyme is bad, but it’s time to rejoice. Don’t you know that God is able even if all the king’s horses and all the king’s men can’t fix it! Even when life seems broken up in pieces- Call on Jesus- yes, even with your voice!
So many books are written, but please open the One, whose words are Spirit and breathe a whole new tone. God speaks to you and me, otherwise known as Humpty Dumpty… Hey, let’s be honest- life breaks the best , but hear this and be overwhelmingly blessed:
God is the same yesterday, today and forever, (1),He is holy and perfect and never messes up!
He is near when others have left. He meets us with light to shine in the darkness.
And not just once- over and over again… Can you hear Him say,”Come, to My Table and sup…
With Me. Take the bread and break it in two, my body was broken on the cross, for you.
Don’t be confused and broken anymore. The Father loves you so – and the ‘death’ that you owe, because of the sin of Adam so long ago… Hear the gospel: To rescue mankind from death – I die instead. My blood is shed, I wear a crown of thorns that you might wear a sparkling crown on your head.
This is the love God! That He sent His only Son! The cup at the table is the cleansing flood! Receive it, drink it, do this in remembrance of Me! I Am the resurrected One!
Death has no power! Sin has no sting. “Humpty shouted “Amen” God has begun in me a new thing!”
Through the resurrected power of His Spirit inside, when we choose to let Him in,to reside- He puts us back together, He creates a ‘new me!’
A Humpty that is whole and moving forward, no longer sitting on a wall! A Humpty whose heart feels thankful – even though there’s been a great fall.
Breaking is good, Because God steps in and speaks! And that Book was never opened, now greets my waking feet!
“Humpty Dumpty shouts, “Amen! Everyday, Jesus puts me together and then…
While it is ‘today’, I will share this rhyme with the children
“Amen! And “Amen!” “God’s love never fails! Amen!”
