Matthew 27:29,30 – Jesus wore the crown of thorns for us

Matthew 27:29,30
When they had twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And they bowed the knee before Him and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” Then they spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him on the head.

Mark 15:17-19
And they clothed Him with purple; and they twisted a crown of thorns, put it on His head, and began to salute Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” Then they struck Him on the head with a reed and spat on Him; and bowing the knee, they worshiped Him.

John 19:2,3
And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and gave Him slaps in the face.


Jesus wore the crown of thorns on His head so that you can have a sound mind free from fears, guilt, depression, anxieties and stress. God gave up His Son to suffer and die on the cross for you. Jesus was pierced in seven places for you - in His head by the crown of thorns, His two hands and feet by the nails, and His side and heart by the spear of a Roman soldier.

If God did not spare His Son, but delivered Him up for you, how will He not with Him also freely give you all things! (Romans 8:32)
