King of Jews they would mock Making a crown of thorns To place around His head That He might look foolish To make an example out of Him For their king of this world Had a crown of wealth If only did they know the thorns Would symbolize what kept them in death In bondage of sinful nature They can not grow on their own For these thorns held them from Reaching the light yet to come That Jesus came to free them from Through love that we might Come to know a true love In His death we have been given a way To seek the light that burns out the thorns So one might rise above the darkness To trade in there crown of thorns And receive a crown of life Which places the seal of approval That you belong to the God of the living That He might reign within To give knowledge and wisdom in His word That shines light on the darkness To see Jesus is the King of Kings Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. James 1:12 KJV

Jesus was given a crown of thorns to mock the King of Kings. But those fools didn't know that with that crown of thorns, he bought the crown of eternal life. Great image and great poem , Stephan
