An Extra Extra ChristmasSample

Gifts Fit for a King

When the wise men visited Jesus, they didn’t just come to see Him—they brought gifts that showed who they believed He truly was. Gold represented Jesus as a king, frankincense symbolized His divinity, and myrrh hinted at the sacrifice He would make for us. These gifts weren’t ordinary presents; they were treasures chosen with thought and love, showing their deep respect and understanding of who Jesus was. This reminds us that true worship often includes giving something from the heart, whether it’s our time, our talents, or our love. Like the wise men, we’re invited to bring our best to Jesus, as a response to the incredible gift He’s given us. Worship isn’t just about singing or praying—it’s also about offering Him our lives and choosing to honor Him in all we do. Each time we give with a sincere heart, we’re joining in the wise men’s act of worship.
