C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

What was the crown of sin? Thorns. These sprang from the curse. “Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee,” 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! 1168.227 I must confess I never read the story of the Master’s death, knowing what I do of the pain of crucifixion, without deep anguish: crucifixion was a death worthy to have been invented by devils. The pain which it involved was immeasurable; I will not torture you by describing it. I know dear hearts that cannot read of it without tears, and without laying awake for nights afterwards. 1896.222
