Matthew 2:11
v. 11: When the wise men found Jesus, they entered the house and saw the child with Mary, His mother. They might have expected to find a royal palace, but instead, they saw a humble home. Still, they recognized Jesus as the Savior and King. They bowed down and worshiped Him, showing honor not just as a king, but as God. All who truly find Christ will worship Him. The wise men also gave Him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. These gifts were valuable and meaningful—gold for a king, frankincense for worship, and myrrh as a symbol of suffering and death. Their gifts also helped Joseph and Mary in their time of need. By giving these gifts, the wise men honored Jesus as King, God, and Savior. We should give ourselves and what we have to Jesus, just as the wise men did (Romans 12:1 a).
