Devotions
Sinner and Savior
A story reported in USA Today a couple of years ago told of a woman who was on an overseas flight. She called a flight attendant and told her she thought she was having a heart attack. The flight attendant turned to the passengers and asked is there a doctor on board. At that point 15 people stood up. She said which of you is a heart doctor. They all remained standing. They were headed to a convention of cardiac surgeons.
- Imagine that lady’s joy to know that out of all the flights she could be on and having a heart attack – she chose a plane full of heart doctors.
Well I want you to know friends that we have the presence of the One who has diagnosed our problem. He’s prescribed the treatment through his word. He has the knowledge he needs because he knows everything about you that there is to know. He has the expertise and the ability to take care of you. Let me say it this way – He is the ultimate heart doctor. And that truth makes me think of the biggest oxy moron I have ever heard. I love oxy morons. Maybe you’re familiar with this little diddy.
- One bright day in the middle of the night – two dead boys got up to fight
Back to back faced one another – drew their swords and shot each other
A deaf policeman heard the noise, came and killed those two dead boys
If you don’t believe this lie is true – ask the blind man – he saw it too
You have seen plenty of examples of Oxy-morons – here are a few on my list….
- Jumbo Shrimp Found missing Icy Hot Child Proof
Government Intelligence Pretty ugly Boilermakers win
Now the definition of Oxy moron is a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction. So with that definition here are two words that really seem to contradict each other – Savior/Sinner……The biggest oxy moron of all. I deserve nothing – he gave everything. I am unworthy – He alone is worthy. I’m guilty – He’s innocent – the biggest oxy moron of all is Savior and sinner. The ultimate heart Doctor who is right here with us.
