A CROWN OF THORNS - SHARP - VICIOUS THORNS """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Written by S.C.Mitchell Nov 2013. He bore a crown - but not of diamonds or a golden orb - but A crown of thorns - sharp - vicious thorns - the KING of all the kings Agreed to wear - this crown - to show His Sovereign Majesty - a Crown more costly than the greatest Royal hoarde - a crown of pain - Of more celestial worth than any other gain - to encompass His Regal Head and blood-soaked - matted hair - that would fulfill His purpose - and His Word . No other king has ever chosen to be robed in purple - stained With crimson from the blood that flowed from lashes borne Upon their back - and yet - those very wounds were willingly Received by this - the Greatest King of all the Universe and Earth - to bring the healing of the nations - and for you and Me - if we should care to recognise their value and Their worth . Those nails - so similar for driving posts into the hardened Ground - were banged into the gentlest flesh that could be Found - to hold Him to a post - a tree - from which He bore the Curse of Death for you and me - with pain - and yet with joy - Those nails three - held fast the Only One - who could offer full Salvation - now and then - for all humanity - and I for one - am Grateful that He chose to bear such agony - For me . """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Thank You dear Lord , that You should deem me worthy of such value , that You would pay so high a price to save me from the grip of Hell - and set me free . Forever - I will say - Thank YOU.. """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Can you say the same , my friend , for what the Lord has done for you ? Many blessings ....and a very Happy THANKSGIVING Day . Stella >< Vote for this poem
