The Gifts We Bring (Part 2)
John 14:8-11
Sunday, December 15, 2024
The second gift that the Magi brought to Jesus was Frankincense, a precious spice used in Israel for sacrificial offerings. It is a gift that points us to the divine nature of Jesus. What does it mean that Jesus is the divine Son of God? What does it tell us about Jesus and, more importantly, what does it tell us about God?

Current Series: The Gifts We Bring
The magi of the Christmas story brought three gifts to the infant Jesus: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Tradition has long ascribed symbolic meaning to these gifts: gold symbolizes Jesus's royalty, frankincense, his divinity, and myrrh, his mortality. This series delves into these three gifts, examines the significance of these three aspects of Jesus's nature, and urges us to think seriously about what gifts we ourselves bring to the Christ child.
