Episode #253 - What Gifts Will You Present to Jesus in 2021?

“On coming to the house, they (the Magi) saw the child with his mother, Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.”      Matthew 2:11

 

After the birth of Christ, the Wise Men presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Gold represented royalty, frankincense signified Jesus’s role as High Priest, and myrrh—used for embalming, was a prophetic gift for it was used to anoint the body of Jesus after his death on the cross.

 

As we enter 2021, what can we take away from these three gifts to re-gift back to Jesus? We can bring Him our worship, our focus, and our relationships—beginning with our relationship with Him.

 

The gifts the Wise Men presented to Christ were rare, valuable, and intentionally chosen. This week, on our Orphans No More podcast, host Sandra Flach challenges listeners to be intentional about investing in our most precious treasures—our relationship with Jesus and with others. These are the greatest gifts we can present to our King.
