A13 The Crown of Thorns

Part of series Agape Series

The significance of the crown of thorns upon the head of Jesus carries a far deeper meaning than most imagine. When Adam sinned the earth produced thorns as a response to his sinfulness.

The Bible tells us clearly that when men sin the earth is defiled and the rebellion that is in man is stored up in the earth like pressure of a fault line until it bursts forth and causes destruction.

The principles in this chapter are vital to many of the stories in the Bible.

The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants, Because they have transgressed the laws, Changed the ordinance, Broken the everlasting covenant. Isa 24:5

Yet despite all this sinfulness affecting the earth Christ holds back as long as possible these effects and it is like wearing a crown of thorns as He groans and travails under the weight of it. Rom 8:22

Worth and Value ('Identity Wars' Review)

The book identity wars found me at an edge of giving up in life due to insecurity, fear of the unknown, desperately in need of approval and constant questions like who I am truly, does it matter what I do in life? and if really anyone cared about me due to my present situation! But thankfully, this book gave answers to my struggle for significance...

Profound Personal Impact

The book Agape is having a profound personal impact upon my life. I feel the loving tender presence of my Saviour drawing me to our Father. At the same time the darkness and hypocrisy residing at the heart of my current religious experience is being magnified like never before. The narrow gate that few find; Mat 7:14, is standing before me and I see the tears of my Lord and hear His still small voice beckoning, come unto me.
