What do you give the one who has everything? Have you ever walked the aisles of stores, staring blankly at the shelves trying to find “just the right gift?” Maybe you’ve stood at the counter of the department store while the sales person showed you item after item. After what seems like hours, you still can’t decide. Your winter coat feels heavy on your shoulders and you grow warmer and warmer with the anxiety of the deadline of Christmas coming and you still don’t have a gift.
I don’t think the Magi had the same anxiety. They brought the infant Jesus gold, frankincense and myrrh. They seem like odd gifts to us. But they brought just the perfect gifts. So what about us today? What gift would we bring Jesus?
In The Gathering this week, we finish our “Images of the Savior” series as we examine the Christmas Story from the view of the Magi. Bring yourself—and your friends and family—as we examine the gift of Christmas.
