Troy a servant of God andthe Lord Jesus Christ.
A poet summed it up.
"O Thou wast crowned with thorns that I might wear a crown of glory fair, exceeding sorrowful that I might be exceeding glad in Thee. Rejected and despised that I might stand accepted and complete at Thy right hand. Wounded for my transgressions, stricken sore that I might sin no more, weak that I might be always strong in Thee, bound that I might be free, acquainted with grief that I might only know fullness of joy and everlasting flow. Thine was the chastening with no release that mine might be the peace, the bruising and the cruel stripes were Thine, the healing was mine. Thine was the sentence and the condemnation, mine the acquittal and full salvation. For Thee reviling in a mocking throng, for me the angels' song. For Thee the frown, the hiding of God's face, for me the smile of grace. Sorrows of hell and bitterest death for Thee, all heaven and everlasting life for me."
Amen
