Giving love!

   In my Christmas letter this past December, I addressed a sincere question: “What can we give to Jesus?"

   Now the Magi presented three gifts: gold, incense, and myrrh.  The gold represented the little baby was the King of kings, a title unveiled in the book of Revelation.  The incense represented that the little baby was the Great High Priest from heaven, Christ’s position which the author of the book of Hebrews explained.  I note that many interpret the incense to symbolize a deity offering.  Possible considering the action of the Magi: “…they bowed down and worshiped him” (Matthew 2:11).  The myrrh foreshadowed that little baby would soon give Himself as the atoning sacrifice for the sins of the world, the ultimate sacrifice made on the cross at Golgotha.

   Messiah is Hebrew for Anointed One.  Christ is Greek for Anointed One.  The Anointed One was destined to be the King, the Priest, and the Sacrifice.  Hebrew kings were anointed with olive oil.  Hebrew priests were anointed with olive oil.  Jesus, at His baptism, was anointed with the Holy Spirit.

   Now, what can we offer Jesus?  The answer is love.

   And Jesus is able to enable you and me to truly love!  Jesus died on a cross for the forgiveness of sins of anyone.  Jesus was the atoning sacrifice for the consequence of sins, which is spiritual death.  Jesus was then resurrected.  Then Jesus ascended into heaven.  If you believe in Jesus as your Savior and Lord, you will be saved, and you will have everlasting life in heaven.  Jesus loves you!
