Dec 20 The King Is Coming

Day 20 - The King is Coming! 

Matthew 2: 11b NKJV                                                                                                                                                          

And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

Kneeling before the Babe of Bethlehem they accepted that He was from the Kingdom of Heaven, and as such, He came for the lowly and the simple. The wise men were a selection of the earth’s most learned men and the gifts they presented were of the utmost significance:

Gold - Bring Him your money, your resources - Spend your money on things that matter

Frankincense - The adoration of a consecrated life - Be holy and life your life worthy of that holiness

Myrrh - Sharing in Christ’s sorrows and compassion for the World - View every human being as “in the image of Christ”, and treat them with kindness, always.
