Good Morning Beauties!
There is so much to consider as we ponder The Victor’s Crown. I encourage you to dig into your Bible today and ask God what He wants you to know. He is faithful to reveal truth as you ask for wisdom.
Jesus is showing me in order to share in the victory, I must share in the suffering. We don’t really like to think about this reality, this requirement, yet it remains. When we persevere through hardships, we receive our victor’s crown. The Bible tells us, “Do not yield to fear in the face of the suffering to come, but be aware of this: the devil is about to have some of you thrown into prison to test your faith. For ten days you will have distress, but remain faithful to the day you die and I will give you the victor’s crown of life.” Revelation 2:10 The Passion Translation
We have a Savior who understands our suffering, our pain, our humiliation. Mark 15:17 depicts Jesus in the hands of His captors, “They placed a purple robe on him to make fun of him. Then they braided a victor’s crown, a wreath made of thorns, and set it on his head.” (The Passion Translation) Jesus was innocent, and yet led away as a criminal, mistreated, injured, and humiliated. He knows your pain.
Here is the good news, the literal “Good News,” Jesus has overcome the enemy and wears the Victor’s Crown. The war was won when Jesus defeated the enemy at the Cross and at His Resurrection. The grave could not contain Him! He took our sin, paid our debt, and reconciled us with The Father. We Have Victory!!!
Which crown do you hold in your hands? A Crown of Thorns? A Crown of Jewels? Selah.
