The Glory belongs to Christ and Christ only. For only He died upon a cross, sacrificed Himself for our salvation. This crown of love speaks of so much to me. When I think about who Jesus is and what Jesus did. He took my sin upon himself, He loved and still loves me that much to take my place. He is our only hope and yet only He deserves the glory!
When we have done something that we are proud of, when we have done the right thing, we must recognise that it is all for the Glory of Jesus. That when we walk away from that accomplishment we must take of our crowns and lay it at the cross.
The only crown Jesus worn was a crown of thorns, yet He crowns us with His glory, 'in royal robes we don't deserve' and often we just take the royal robes, crown and all the glory, when surely we should be recognising that the ultimate glory goes to the Lamb- to the one who gave His life so that we may life and not die! Our crowns of glory belong to Him and we should be giving all the Glory to Him!
Nothing we do should not be for His Glory and His honour, yet when we do things that do not glorify, the love, the cost, the life we sin against that pure sacrifice of love. That's when I become overwhelmed by the love, grace and mercy of Jesus Christ my King and Saviour, is that even when we break His heart He still forgives us. We were the ones mocking and scoffing at the foot of the cross and Jesus shouted forgiveness to us.
'But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us
whilst we were still sinners.' Romans 5:8

I love the hymn CROWN HIM WITH MANY CROWNS because it recognises that he is not worthy of just one, but many many many crowns. He is worthy! You are right in your writings. Thank You Sister
