Verse of the Day: Matthew 2:11

And going into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.

The magi, often referred to as the (Three) Wise Men or (Three) Kings, followed the star to Jerusalem, seeking the one who had been born King of the Jews. When they arrived, they asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews?” Upon finding Jesus, they fell to their knees in worship, honoring Him and acknowledging Him as King.

After worshiping Him, they presented gifts of profound spiritual significance. They offered Him gold, symbolizing His royalty and Kingship. They brought frankincense, representing His priestly role as our Mediator between God and man. Finally, they gave myrrh, a burial ointment foreshadowing His sacrifice as the Savior who would die for our sins.

Like the magi, we too can come to Jesus with hearts full of worship. While we may not bring gold, frankincense, or myrrh, we can offer Him the gifts of our hearts, talents, and service, dedicating all that we are to the King of Kings.
