When they laid the crown of thorns on Jesus' head little did, they realize what soon will happen. Son of God, Jesus Christ, is the Lord himself in human form. Three days later from being crucified he arose from the tomb and ascended into heaven. His crown of thorns that was placed upon him blossomed into beautiful flowers. It must have been the blood of Christ which water those thorns since is blood is like the living water that can cleanse those who sin against him. The people who crucified him sinned against him and others. Thy shall not kill or have any false idols is two of the oldest biblical laws that was given to Moses in the Old Testament. When a person sin, they turn away from the Lord, others and their self. No matter what they know what right, people can turn away and commit sinful acts out of fear from their day-to-day life. It is so easy for people to turn away almost like hide from what they know in their heart what is true and good. At the crucifixion, Jesus saw everyone as he was up upon the cross looking out over the land. He started to weep as he saw faithful crying, people shouting, and sinners sinning with great violence. When Jesus wept it was an act to show his great love for all. This love is compassionate and his tears along with the blood dripping from his body cleansed the nation and world as he took all sins upon himself in a great form of sacrifice as lamb would be sacrificed to God asking for the Lord's blessings. Jesus asked for forgiveness since many may not have known what they were doing or to ashamed to admit they have done wrong. No grave or tomb can hold the son of God and God himself. Even the tombs we metaphorically put ourselves in where we hide or isolate from others, God can breakthrough and meet us in the tomb to rise us out so we can know him and walk with him. No matter who you are what you are going through and what faith you believe in Jesus Christ and God is always with you. They see you in the dark moments as well as you light moments. They forgive you and all people even the non-believers. The crown of thorns is symbolic for sin but with the resurrection that crown blossom into flowers representing God's greatest ultimate form of love to all that is free and given to all the people of every nation and every faith. He has died for your sins so you can be forgiven and be loved for all time in this life and in his kingdom.
