Crown of Thorns

THE PENETRATING WOUND: a deep wound caused by a sharp, pointed instrument.
The crown of thorns that was pressed upon the head of Jesus caused such wounds. The Jerusalem thorn, known as the Arabian Nebulae, was 4 inches long and as sharp as a needle. The cruel crown containing over 100 thorns, was driven into His head with blows from a rod.
The Bible scriptures record, "than they made a crown of thorns, they put it upon His head, and a reed in His right hand: and they bowed before Him, and mocked Him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!" (Matthew 27:29)

THORNS SPEAK OF ORIGINAL CURSE
Thorns speak of the original curse, "...the ground is cursed because of you, all your life you will struggle to scratch a living from it...".....it will grow thorns and thistles for you..." (Gen. 3:17-18)
JESUS TOOK THE CURSE FOR US. He bore the penalty for our sins, transgressions, sicknesses, diseases and pains!
The Apostle Paul writes, "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree:
“That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” (Galations 3:13-14)
In the book of Deuteronomy, Chapter 28, Moses talks about the blessings of keeping covenant with God. He also lists the curses. The curses include sickness, disease, insanity, torments, plagues, pestilence, famine and war. Paul states that, “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law”.
So we are free!
The Roman soldiers tried to drive Jesus insane by beating that crown of sharp Arabian thorns into His head. But He didn't lose His sanity but rather through this horrible experience purchased our peace and tranquility.
"And having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself." (Colossians 1:20)
Because of the penetrating wounds He bore for us, WE HAVE PEACE!

So whenever that battle starts up in your mind, remember the wicked thorns that Christ bore on His head so we could have the victory of a sound, peacuful mind.
