For me, thorns represent the wrong and sinful choices I have made in my life.
The predisposition to self-focus. Self-centeredness. Careless words I have uttered and which have hurt others. Impulsive decisions I have made, instead of praying through and asking God for wisdom. Things I have regretted saying, or doing. Unkind and impure thoughts that have crossed my mind.
Failures and shortcomings. Inadequacies. Inconsistencies.
There are so many ways by which sin bears fruit in my life...
And how often have I felt so helpless to undo the wrong choices I have made in the past, the consequences of which I now have to face and live with!
What a relief to know that Jesus carried and bore the curse of sin upon Himself.
Every step of His way to the cross, Jesus endured, to buy back my freedom from the effects of sin.

Lidj,
That crown of thorns looks so painful with each barb and I can only imagine how horrible and painful it would be to have it thrust on your head and imbed in your skin.
Jesus was so amazing for all the pain He endured because He loved me so much!
