Matthew 2:1,2; 11
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod, the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, saying "Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him."...And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and fell down, and worshiped Him; and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto Him gifts: gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
JESUS is about two years old by now. We understand this, because Herod had all boy babies under two years of age slaughtered, hoping to kill the King of the Jews, JESUS. Mary and JESUS now live in a house in Bethlehem. The wise men, were astrologers from the eastern countries near Persia, which is now Iraq. They traveled far, maybe even two years to see this Holy Child. They had seen the star of the King of Kings in the sky, possibly the shekinah glory of GOD. This star signaled the coming of The King of the Jews, as foretold by the Prophet Micah, "But thou Bethlehem Ephrathah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall He come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel, whose goings forth have been from old, from everlasting." This was an ancient prophecy from around the 8th century B.C. and was know by the wise men, who studied the prophecies and the stars.
The wise men brought with them gifts of great value. These gifts were also prophetic signs which JESUS would fulfill by His life. Gold - the Kingship of JESUS, King of Kings and Lord of Lords; Frankincense - Priest, JESUS the great high Priest, whose Blood is the atonement for all who call upon Him for salvation; Myrrh - the Salvation and Healing, JESUS is our Savior and healer, He who restores us to GOD through the remission of our sins.
There was a fourth gift, this gift was given by GOD to man and given back to GOD through man; the gift of WORSHIP. This is the gift we all can bring to JESUS, all of the time, in every place were we are located. It is the gift from the heart in thanksgiving for for His great Love.
THEN SINGS MY SOUL, MY SAVIOR GOD TO THEE; HOW GREAT THOU ART.
