Good Morning Beauties!
Yesterday we looked at how God has given us our Victor’s Crown, but it’s up to us to receive it, put it on our heads, and wear it in our daily lives. Jesus did all the hard work, and now we just have to believe in Him and all He did to bring us a victorious life.
We often think of a crown as a beautiful jewel adorned golden fixture, but today let’s look at the crown Jesus wore on that dark Friday. The victory is found there.
“Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. 2 The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe 3 and went up to him again and again, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!” And they slapped him in the face.” John 19:1-3 New International Version
What do you feel when you read those words? Knowing Jesus suffered physical pain and humiliation for your sake? How do you feel when you hear that he’d do it all again for you?
The crown being presented on someone’s head signifies a winner - a victor. It also says, “This person belongs to a royal family.” In fact, the Roman soldiers were mocking Jesus by putting the crown on His head, but they had it right - He was a king - THE King! By accepting the crown, Jesus acknowledged the victory His Father had always intended. Jesus would defeat death once and for all and reconcile God’s beloved children back to Him. Hallelujah!!!
Let’s praise our Victorious King today. Here’s a song jam packed with God’s Truth. Enjoy!

“Blessed (happy, [a]to be envied) is the man who is patient under trial and stands up under temptation, for when he has stood the test and been approved, he will receive [the victor’s] crown of life which God has promised to those who love Him.”
