The One who is ETERNALLY MORE precious than gold! Is that true for you this Christmas my friend this Christmas season?
1. The Treasure of the Magi (Matt. 2:1-12; 6:21; 1 Cor. 1:18-31; Col. 2:2-3)
Our hearts within us Are longing for more than gold: Treasures and riches Which only Messiah holds. His presence we seek, Humbly and meek.
Through many days and nights, We travel on to Him; His star leads the way, And our hearts brightly burn within. And finally we see: The young Christ and King.
This One, this child: The King of Israel; And gifts we bring With joy exceedingly!
Gold for our God and King, Frankincense to worship Thee; Myrrh for our Lamb, Who shall die and then rise for we. And our hearts we bring And lay at His feet.
With joy and praise We glorify His Name: Whose arm and strength Shall bring salvation’s grace; And now we see The ETERNAL Son and King!
Now our hearts have found The treasure far more than gold!
I just recently learned of some relatives of mine that do not do Christmas gifts on Christmas. They do sharing of gifts during the start of the season of Epiphany (Jan 2- 6), as this is the period, after Yeshua’s birth, when the Magi came bearing gifts for Christ.
Wow; never heard of that; that is a neat tradition; like 3kings?
Jesus was probably born in March April; 1st Nissan; but I love that we remember it and it’s a great occasion to study it etc;
Thanks for sharing!
