The Golden Crown

And thou shalt make unto it a crown of gold round about. There was no crown to the brazen altar, for that sets forth Jesus in his humiliation, suffering, and death; and the only crown he wore on earth was a crown of thorns. But there is a golden crown to the alter of incense, for it presents to us Jesus risen, ascended, and crowned with glory and honor.
The crown also is significant of the Divine beauty and excellency of his character and office, as the one through whom we worship and draw nigh to God.
