I did indeed Sally Forth today - I was late getting on the road, so a slower commute than usual.

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Crowns Of Honor
June 10, 2014

Read: John 19:1-8

The soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head. —John 19:2

Bible in a Year:
2 Chronicles 34-36; John 19:1-22

The Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom are stored securely and protected within the Tower of London under 24-hour guard. Each year, millions visit the display area to “ooh and aah” over these ornate treasures. The Crown Jewels symbolize the power of the kingdom, as well as the prestige and position of those who use them.

Part of the Crown Jewels are the crowns themselves. There are three different types: the coronation crown, which is worn when an individual is crowned monarch; the state crown (or coronet), which is worn for various functions; and the consort crown worn by the wife of a reigning king. Different crowns serve different purposes.

The King of heaven, who was worthy of the greatest crown and the highest honor, wore a very different crown. In the hours of humiliation and suffering that Christ experienced before He was crucified, “the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and they put on Him a purple robe” (John 19:2). That day, the crown, which is normally a symbol of royalty and honor, was turned into a tool of mockery and hate. Yet our Savior willingly wore that crown for us, bearing our sin and shame.

The One who deserved the best of all crowns took the worst for us.

Crown Him the Lord of life:
Who triumphed o’er the grave;
Who rose victorious in the strife
For those He came to save. —Bridges/Thring

Without the cross, there could be no crown.

Insight

No details are given about the scourging of Jesus (John 19:1). Nevertheless, it was a horrifying and significant event in the passion of Christ. Jewish law prohibited a prisoner from being struck more than 40 times (Deut. 25:3), so, to be safe, common Jewish practice was to give one fewer—39 blows. Roman law had no such limitations, allowing the scourging to continue as long as those inflicting it desired. Because of this, prisoners sometimes died under the lash before they could receive the remainder of their punishment. It is another reminder of the extent of Christ’s suffering on our behalf.
