Summary

This quote highlights the idea that the purpose of life is not simply to experience joy and happiness, but also to endure struggles and hardships. It is suggested that Jesus Christ, by descending from the awe-inspiring transfiguration and willingly accepting the suffering symbolized by the crown of thorns, exemplifies the notion that life involves both moments of transformation and moments of pain. This can be interpreted as a reminder that challenges and sacrifices are part of the human experience, and that they contribute to our growth and spiritual journey.
