When my children were little, we would recite nursery rhymes. There were Jack and Jill; Little Boy Blue; Old King Cole; Baa, Baa Black Sheep and more. I don’t know why but the other day I woke up reciting Humpty Dumpty!
“Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t put Humpty together again.”
Ever felt like Humpty Dumpty. You are just sitting there on your wall enjoying the sunshine when suddenly you fall off or get pushed and all you can see is the ground rising up to meet you. Now everything has broken apart. There are pieces of your life scattered across the ground with little hope of being put back where they were.
Well, maybe king’s horses and king’s men didn’t have the power to put Humpty together again … but there is a King of kings that can not only put the pieces of our lives together but can make us brand new … as if we had never fallen!
“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come.” [2 Corinthians 5:17 HCSB]
In Christ, we are a new creation. We are not just patched back together. We … are … brand …new … as … if … we … had … never … been … broken!
This is the last day of November. Thanksgiving is behind us. We are entering a wonderful (yet crazy) season. Let us never, however, forget to be thankful for all Christ Jesus has done for us when He was broken on a cross so that we might be made a new creation!
Thank you, Jesus, for Your Amazing Love.
