THE THREE GIFTS

Matthew 28:18
And JESUS came and spoke unto them, saying, All authority is given unto Me in heaven and in earth.

THE GIFT OF GOLD

When the Magi came to the house and saw the young child, JESUS, they presented to Him three gifts. Each of the gifts had prophetic significance, the first gift was gold. Gold was given only to a King, therefore, this gift was an affirmation of the fact that JESUS was the King, the Messiah, the LORD.

The Revelation 19: 16 "And He had on His vesture and on His thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS". This is JESUS, the King who came to earth as a child and was worshiped and adored by angels and shepherds and Magi. This is JESUS who was presented with the royal gift of GOD.

Gold has another meaning that is not often taught; gold is a symbol of the Shekinah Glory of GOD. JESUS is the Light, His Spirit is the Shekinah. Gold was given to Him as a symbol of who He was and who He is and who He ever shall be; JESUS IS THE LORD, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

COME, LET US ADORE HIM, CHRIST THE LORD.
