The thorns typified Christ dying
for Adam’s sins. When Adam sinned, he
brought thorns into the creation. God
did not create roses with thorns. But
when God cursed the ground for man’s sake…
Genesis 3:17-18
And
unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and
hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat
of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it
all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring
forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
…thorns, thistles and weeds grew
up. So now when roses grow, though they
are beautiful (typifying humanity), they also grow with prickly thorns. Thorns symbolize something irritating that is
constantly getting under your skin.
Hopefully this
helps!
