Scripture – “On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.”
Matthew 2:11 NIV
Observation – When the wise men saw Jesus they bowed down, worshipped him, opened their treasuries and presented him with gifts.
Application – In Matthew 6:21 Jesus says, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” The wise men had wealth and they used this wealth to seek Jesus, he was their great reward. Giving their earthly wealth was the natural response for them because Jesus was more precious to them than silver or gold. How about you?
Prayer – Dear Jesus, give us a heart and a wallet that is open to you. Amen.
