Named 'Crown of Thorns', it reminds us of the blood and crown of thorns worn by Jesus. Sharp and spiky thorns hurt Jesus? Christ Jesus who redeemed us on the cross. Despite knowing His love and grace that cannot be grasped, my soul which has been dulled has once again hurt Jesus. I love Christ Jesus who empowers me with enlightenment on my soul that is weary of surrounding difficulties. The meaning of crown of thorns, 'treasure the depth of hardship' makes my heart cry.
