30 Day Jesus Challenge: Day 07 - Jesus took a crown of thorns and gave me a crown of righteousness

Day 7 of my 30 Day Jesus Challenge - things I love about Jesus.

He took a crown of thorns to give me a crown of righteousness. Then we get to throw our crowns at His feet! We get the grace. He gets the glory.

Matthew 27:29-30 TPT

Then they braided a crown of thorns and set it on his head. After placing a reed staff in his right hand, they knelt down before him and irreverently mocked him, saying, "Hail, king of the Jews!" [30] Then they spat in his face and took the reed staff from his hand and hit him repeatedly on his head, driving the crown of thorns deep into his brow.

2 Timothy 4:8 NLT

And now the prize awaits me-the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing.

Revelation 4:9-11 NASB95

And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, to Him who lives forever and ever, [10] the twenty-four elders will fall down before Him who sits on the throne, and will worship Him who lives forever and ever, and will cast their crowns before the throne, saying, [11] "Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed, and were created."
