GOLD, FRANKINCENSE AND MYRRH
Jesus Christ came to the world because He loves us, leaving His throne of glory and accepting the Cross instead: 1Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2 saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him... ...11And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh. Matthew 2. That Child received three presents from three Gentile wise men that still endure today in the Story of stories, the one that would change the world forever. Those three presents have a deeper meaning than the literal one and this Christmas we want to look deeply into their meaning, and what Jesus as a Child represented. Those three presents would become, in us, three gifts from God that Jesus gives us when we receive Him as Saviour: Gold, frankincense and myrrh. The Golden Rule, The Great Commandment and the Great Commission. Spirit, Soul and Body. Body of Christ given over to the myrrh of the Cross to win another Body, the anointed Bride as the women who were anointed with myrrh, the Church, that will also offer herself to Him for the marriage of the Lamb. In the meantime and especially at Christmas time, the bride brings her anointment of sweet-smelling aroma before God, when we bring Christ in our hearts and we share Him in a contrary world that will be transformed upon His coming. Merry Christmas to all those who love Him! To find God's gold, frankincense and myrrh, read further on...
