Three days until Christmas:
Three gifts, three meanings...
So the group of Magi brought Jesus three gifts. These three gifts showed three important things about Jesus:
-Firstly, gold. This showed that Jesus would be a king, as gold was given to royalty.
-Secondly, frankincense. This showed that Jesus was to be a high priest.
-Thirdly, myrrh. This showed that Jesus was an ordinary man, as myrrh was a common gift. This was also a sign that Jesus was born to die as myrrh was used to preserve bodies.
It's amazing how the Magi knew these three things about Jesus, from the prophecies that had been written about him.
