Join the angels in Study..... which are now reported unto you by 
them that have preached the gospel
unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into. 1 Peter 1:12
"All admit that Christ bore the curse for man on the cross; "for it is written, cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree." Gal. 3:13.
But it is not so well considered that there was a peculiar 
significance in his being crowned with thorns by the soldiers.
They put a purple robe upon him;
and a reed in his hand, thus signifying that he was a king.
They also crowned him, but with thorns--the emblem of the curse put upon the earth. The curse was brought by the wile of Satan.
And as they smote him with the reed, and drove the thorns into his brow, and the blood ran down his face, that blood drawn by the thorns, the curse of the earth, was the surety of the earth's redemption.
God made the world to be inhabited; he gave it to the children of men; and his purpose will not fail, for the children of men shall inherit and possess it forever, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace, when God shall make all things new. Rev. 21:1-5." Joseph Waggoner
