Here are a few more thoughts on Gold, Frankincense
and Myrrh
Myrrh: prophesies of Christ's suffering
Frankincense: shows Christ's attitude of holiness in the midst of
suffering
Gold: shows Christ's triumph over
suffering
Jesus is our Prophet, Priest and
King
Myrrh speaks of Jesus our
Prophet - Luke 24:19 Jesus…a prophet mighty in deed and word before
God and all the people
Prophets reveal and declare. Jesus revealed, declared and embodied
God’s plan of redemption for all people
Jesus is a prophet like Moses
Myrrh brings us Christ’s healing power
He heals our body – His Divine work
Like Mary – present your body to Him this Christmas so that
his purposes might come to pass in you and through you (Lu. 1:30-38)
Frankincense speaks of Jesus our
Priest – Hebrews 2:17 That he might be a merciful and faithful
high priest
Priests make offerings and stand before the Father on our
behalf – He offered Himself for us and now makes intercession for us before the
Father
Jesus is a priest like Melchizedek
Frankincense brings us Christ’s overcoming power
He restores our soul – His Divine attributes
Like Mary – present your soul to Him this Christmas and
magnify Him with all your heart (Lu. 1:46)
Gold speaks of Jesus our
King – Matthew 2:2 Where is he that
is born King of the Jews?
Kings rule with justice and equity, and protect their people.
Jesus is our King who rules all nations and is a refuge for all people
Jesus is a King like David
Gold brings us Christ’s glory power
He fills our
spirit with glory – His Divine nature
Like Mary – present your spirit to Him this Christmas and
rejoice in your Savior (Lu. 1:46)
There are actually 7 descriptions of Jesus in His ministry as King:
Ps. 24:7 He is the King of glory
Lu. 23:37-38 He is King of the Jews
Jn. 1:49; Matt. 27:42 He is King of
Israel

of peace
