GIFTS OF HOPE: Frankincense (He Understands)

Hope and Gifts are tied together

The gifts were useful for the family and foreshadowed what Jesus would represent

Frankincense: The “Swiss army knife” of oils

Frankincense: Represents the priestly nature of Jesus

High Priest made sacrifices to God for the forgiveness of the people’s sins
High Priest offered prayers to God on behalf of the people

Garden of Eden: Had the holiness of God and the purity of humankind

After Eve sinned: Had the holiness of God and the sinfulness of mankind

We will have a casual approach to sin unless we understand the holiness of God

Holy (Hagios): Separate, other, different

Our sin disrupts our intimacy and fellowship with God

Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur): Day the High Priest made sacrifice for our sins

The scapegoat: Symbolizing the sins have been separated from the people of God

Sacrificing animals always meant to be temporary covering (Old Covenant)

Jesus is a High Priest who understands and cares
