            The coronation of Christ with thorns was symbolic, and had great meaning in it, for, first, it was to Him a triumphal crown.  Christ had fought with sin from the day when He first stood foot to foot with it in the wilderness up to the time when He entered Pilate’s hall, and He had conquered it.  As a witness that He had gained the victory behold sin’s crown seized as a trophy!  What was the crown of sin?  Thorns.  These sprang from the curse.  “Also it shall produce for you thorns and thistles,” was the coronation of sin, and now Christ has taken away its crown, and put it on His own head.  He has spoiled sin of its richest regalia, and He wears it Himself.  Glorious Champion, all hail!  What if I say that the thorns constituted a mural crown?  Paradise was surrounded with a hedge of thorns so sharp that no one could enter it, but our Champion leaped first upon the bristling rampart, and bore the blood red banner of His cross into the heart of that better than Eden, which thus He won for us never to be lost again.  Jesus wears the mural chaplet which denotes that He has opened Paradise.  It was a wrestler’s crown He wore, for He did not wrestle with flesh and blood, but with principalities and powers, and He overthrew His foe.  It was a racer’s crown He wore, for He had run with the mighty and outstripped them in the race.  He had almost finished His course, and had only a step or two more to take to reach the goal.  It was a crown rich with glory, despite the shame which was intended by it. --- Charles H. Spurgeon
