HUMPTY – DUMPTY
Of course ,we all know Humpty – Dumpty. We know him because of his shape. And we remember that very nasty accident,-…when he fell off the wall ,-sustaining permanent injury. But we also remember him for his assertion “WHEN I USE A WORD, IT MEANS JUST WHAT I CHOOSE IT TO MEAN, NEITHER MORE NOR LESS”……..Regrettably, Humpty has become a role model for many people to-day. And there are a lot of Humpty-Dumpties about to-day. Indeed, they’re all around us, and we all know them.
(Many of them appeared in the period leading up to the General Election) Some people accuse us in the Church of making Humpty-like assertions .. However, that would be incorrect. For ‘we preach Christ crucified,- a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,- but to those whom God has called…the power of God and the wisdom of God.’
(1 Corinthians 1, 24)
