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.

It is such a wonder. Thank you.
Thank you for this needed time of reflection...And putting His Word into our actions.
God bless you sister.
Your posts always touch my heart!
Blessings and prayers,

I think the stations of the cross are such a great visual of Jesus' pain and suffering and great love for us. I have not seen this except in the RC church.
This is a great message to ponder. I'm so grateful for Jesus.
And what a relief I don't have to carry my crown of thorns. It would have been unbearable.
I still rejoice in the text from yesterday; we are healed and saved by his stripes.
I'm looking forward to your posts that give me needed focus on this blessed holiday we call Easter. It really is my favorite holiday, not because of the secular celebration of it but because of the victory it represents.
Thank you for sharing them.
Hi Lidj,
OHHH that hurts!
When I look at what Jesus did for us and study it I bawl like a baby. All He went through for us and to think there are many people out there that still refuse His love gift. Makes my heart bleed.
Oh what a deep, deep love He has for us. But why? Why does He loves us so much when we turn our backs on Him? Because He is our Papa!
Thanks again this is reaching me oh so deep.
Hugs,

What came to mind as I read was, None but Jesus. He did it all..
Much love to you Lidj xx CM
Hi Lidj -
Amen!
GOD is so glorious and majestic - how blessed we are to have Him.
