They went into the house, and when they saw the child with his mother Mary, they knelt down and worshiped him. They brought out their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, and presented them to him..Mat 2:11
Do you know what the three gifts of Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh, from the 3 wise men to baby Jesus, represent? They were emblems of;
- the royalty/regal office of Christ…gold was presented because He is King…
- the divinity/priestly office of Jesus Christ…incense was presented because He is God…
- the manhood/human office of Jesus…myrrh was presented because He was united to a human body through suffering and death…
What meaning(s) do these gifts have to you?

Do you also know that God actually sent those wise men to present the gifts so that Joseph, Mary & Jesus could use it as a means of livelihood in their escape route from Pharaoh
Happy New Year. The gold represents provision to me…
Some school of thought say there were not 3 wise men, the number is not known for sure. What do you think?
I was wondering if you can purchase this ensemble of gold, myrrh and incense
