Broken Eggs

The nursery rhyme of Humpty-Dumpty.

Humpty-Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty-Dumpty had a great fall,
and all the king's horses and all the king's men,
couldn't put Humpty-Dumpty back together again.

Charles Swindol reports that Humpty-Dumpty was originally written as a parable and not as a nursery rhyme. It was not about broken egg shells, but broken people.

There are a lot of broken people in the world. There are tragic deaths, unexpected illnesses, unfaithful marriages, and financial failures.

God is the only one that can put us back together. Paul tells us that if we die to ourselves and are baptized, then we will have a new life. What a promise. Even when all the stuff happens to us, we have a hope beyond this life. What a God!
