DAILY READINGS: 1 Samuel 15; Isaiah 54; Romans 1:18-32
But we see Jesus…crowned with glory and honour. Hebrews 2:9
By the eye of faith we see our Saviour adorned with a wreath of glory, depicting the excellence of the Divine nature—manifested fully in Him. The character of the crown includes honour, of highest value. He is worthy of it, for the great work He has completed at Calvary. Interestingly, the same word is used in Matthew 27:6 as the price of blood, 30 pieces of silver. One day He will receive the crown of glory and honour, but the crown of thorns was a crown of honour too. It speaks of His great love for us. Through our worship may we crown Him with praises today. —Duncan Maxwell
Crowns of glory ever bright, rest upon the Victor’s head;
Crowns of glory are his right; His, who liveth, and was dead.—Anon.
