Twenty Five Days of Christmas Devotions预览

The wise men had travelled a long way to worship the King. They worshiped Him with precious gifts from a faraway land. Yet, they were only offering to the Lord a symbol of what they would be receiving from Jesus, the Saviour who had come into this world.

They offered gold which spoke of the royalty and purity of the Saviour. They offered frankincense which represented the sweet aroma of a life of goodness that Jesus would live on this earth. Finally, they offered myrrh, a bitter herb which symbolised the suffering that the Saviour would undergo to redeem mankind from their sin. Today, what can you offer back as an act of worship to the Lord? First, a life of purity that befits a child of God. Second, a life of goodness that gives a pleasant fragrance to those around. Finally, a life that is willing to suffer for the sake of righteousness and the name of Jesus. Oh, come let us adore and worship Him with our lives.
