“For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head." Psalm 21:3
It always bothers me when a soldier, policemen or anyone else has died to help another and they quote John 15:13, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
Please don’t misunderstand what I am trying to say. While the one that does such a thing is most defiantly a wonderful person that shows great love and bravery, the verse they use was spoken by JESUS to the twelve describing His soon death.
Nothing can ever be compared to what JESUS did! He took our sin to the cross in our place, freeing us from the penalty of death! “For all have sinned”! Some may die for another but only JESUS rose again promising the same resurrection for those that trust and rely on Him!
The FATHER placed a crown on the SON
Which was made of the purest gold!
He gave Him a name above all names,
His Majesty is great to behold!
JESUS’ answer came before I spoke,
He knew what was upon my heart.
Oh what peace came to me
And the grace He did impart!
As others watched they saw my gain
With amazement they did behold.
My life had changed before their eyes.
JESUS is the greatest story ever told!
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:8-11
