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.
