After sinning, the man was cursed. God said to him:
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread…(Genesis 3:19)
And it refers to the stress, struggles and anxieties that come with working hard and yet unproductive.
But in reality, the work itself is not a curse since God gave work to Adam before the fall: Adam had to take care of the Garden of Eden.
It was only after sin that the land was cursed and thorns were produced and man had to work hard to eat it (see Genesis 3: 17-18).
Fortunately, on the cross, Jesus carried the thorns on his head to show us that he has brought us this curse and redeemed us.
The soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe.(John 19:2)
He has worn the crown of thorns so that we can work without stress while having the results.
We do not need to be worried and stressed day and night, like the people of the world, to progress in life. Heavenly Father can bring us there without worry and stress (see Matthew 6: 31-33).
Beloved, every curse supposed to fall on our heads fell on the head of Jesus, characterized by the crown of thorns.
He wore the crown of thorns for us so that we could have peace of mind. He wore the crown of thorns for us and took our curse so that we could wear the crown of glory and take his justice and all the benefits of that justice!
Henceforth, let us no longer work and no longer toil like the peoples of the world. Let us rather wait to see the blessings of God enter our lives without blood, sweat or tears, for Jesus wore the crown of thorns for us!
Prayer:
Lord our God, give us to enjoy your blessings and to work successfully.
It is in the precious name of Jesus Christ your son that we pray.
Amen.
