And when [the Wise Men] had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Matthew 2:11
RECOMMENDED READING
1 Kings 10:14-25
The desirability of gold dates from the dawn of human history (Genesis 2:11-12). Since then, gold has maintained its status as the most desired of earthly metals. Coupled with its beauty is its rarity. Estimates are that all the gold that has ever been recovered on earth would fit into a cube measuring around 73 feet on each side.
A very small portion of the world’s gold was presented to Jesus as a gift from the Magi following His birth in Bethlehem. Why did the Magi present something as valuable as gold to an infant child? Because they recognized that Jesus had been born “King of the Jews” (Matthew 2:2). And gold was the metal most associated with royalty in the ancient world. King Solomon was presented with gold by all who sought an audience with him (1 Kings 10:1-10, 24-25).
Take a lesson from the Wise Men: Present to Jesus your most precious gift-your whole life as a living sacrifice to Him (Romans 12:1).
