The Crown of Thorns

After he was arrested, Jesus, who created all men and women, allowed himself to be spit upon by mouths He made and beaten with hands He formed. Finally the very people He came to save put a crown upon is head. But this crown wasn’t a crown of glory to bring honor but a crown of thorns to inflict pain.

Some of the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into their headquarters and called out the entire regiment. They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him. They wove thorn branches into a crown and put it on his head, and they placed a reed stick in his right hand as a scepter. Then they knelt before him in mockery and taunted, “Hail! King of the Jews!” And they spit on him and grabbed the stick and struck him on the head with it. When they were finally tired of mocking him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him again. Then they led him away to be crucified.
