There is coming a day when Jesus Christ who was last seen publically

hanging on a cross, will return to this earth wearing a crown(s)!

His groaning and humiliation will be replaced with glory and exaltation!

-Back then Jesus rode a donkey; But here, Jesus rides a white horse!

- Back then Jesus faced his enemies alone; But here he is followed by the armies of heaven!

- Back then Jesus wore a crown of thorns; But here, Jesus wears many kingly crowns!

- Back then the robe of Jesus was stripped off his back; but here Jesus is wearing a robe dipped in his own royal blood.

- Back then he was silent before his enemies; But here he speaks the word of God, a sword that will destroy his enemies!

- Back then he had a sign meant for mockery nailed to his cross that read, “The King of the Jews;” But here he has a name written upon his robe and thigh, “King of kings and Lord of lords.”
