The Crown of Christ Quotes

“This is more than an expedition, Sam. Jesus gave up His crown of gold in heaven to come to earth to wear the crown of thorns. He did it for us.”

“remember when we saw Gideon’s Fleece in the Bedouin camp?” she asked. “Yes. Someone had used it to wrap the golden ephod that Gideon owned.” Sam frowned. “That ephod was worth millions. Why did he own such an expensive plaque?” “It was a reward from the men of Israel. They wanted to honor him. So he asked for them to donate the gold taken as war spoils. The ephod was made from the golden earrings, ornaments, and pendants that the soldiers had collected in battle, after they won the war against Midian.” Achava smiled. “It reminded the people that God won the war for them.” “Tell me about Midian. Where are those people now?” asked Sam. “They intermarried with Arabs.” “Maybe they are Bedouins now.” “Who knows. If so, it is good that they have Gideon’s fleece and ephod. Maybe they are the rightful owner.” “Maybe.”
