John 19:2-3a And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on His head and arrayed Him in a purple robe. They came up to Him saying, “Hail, King of the Jews.”
a robe of purple
©3-18-12 hannah mclean
though men arrayed Him in a purple robe
with the purpose to debase
and not to exalt
it is not the robe that makes the King
and though men “hailed” in mockery
and stripped the robe from off His back
discarding it in a blood stained heap
of purple finery
the removal of man’s robe does not mean
a forfeited throne
Royalty remains
and forever is His reign
