Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh

Matt. 2:11

And when they were come into the house,

they saw the young child with Mary his mother,

and fell down, and worshipped him:

and when they had opened their treasures,

they presented unto him gifts;

gold, and frankincense and myrrh.

Because he is our Emmanuel - the God who has come to be with us -

Bring Him Gold - this represents your character - victories that you have won with Christ in the core of who you are - He is in you...the hope of glory. Bring yourself to Him as an offering of gold this Christmas

Gold will cause you to look like Him

Bring Him Frankincense - this represents your worship - all of your heart poured out in devotion. Bring yourself to Him as an offering of frankincense this Christmas

Frankincense will cause you to sound like Him

Bring Him Myrrh - this represents your suffering...those things that have broken your heart this year...the fragrance of myrrh comes not just because we have suffered, but because we choose the Lord in the midst of suffering, and overcome despite our suffering. Bring yourself to Him as an offering of myrrh this Christmas

Myrrh will cause you to smell like Him
