Biblical Objects & Artifacts

The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and placed it on Jesus' head, put a purple robe on Him, and mocked Him saying 'Hail, King of the Jews!' (John 19:2-3). This cruelty ironically proclaimed truth — Jesus is indeed King of Kings. Thorns entered creation as a result of the curse in Genesis 3:18. By wearing the crown of thorns, Jesus bore the curse of sin upon Himself, beginning the reversal of the Fall through His death and resurrection.
