The wise men from the east came to the stable. “And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and worshiped him, and opened the treasures, and presented unto them gold and frankincense, and myrrh” (Matthew 2:11).
Gold, which was traditionally offered to kings
Indicated the kingdom of Jesus.
The incense is used in the temple for worship. It is symbolized his eternal priesthood.
Myrrh, the anointing oil used to bury the dead, referred to his prophethood and his death.
The Word teaches that worship also has a meaning of dedication. Our worship also belongs to Christ alone, because he incarnated for us. The one who suffered for us and thought of the last drop of blood on the cross. He has risen again for our redemption. The one who prepares a place for us in heaven in the clouds of heaven. Finally, He is the One who will come back in the last days and take us to be with Him.
The stable of Christ is the place where the wise men who came with the sights of gold, myrrh, and frankincense were given equal consideration by the shepherds who came with nothing to offer. When celebrating his birthday, do not forget to hold on to your friends, regardless of their wealth and position.
