Then Herod, when he had secretly called the wise men,
determined from them what time the star appeared – Mathew 2:7.
The three wise men gave their
time, talent and treasures when Jesus was born. They travelled far and followed the star to see Jesus. After
Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from
the east came to Jerusalem and asked, 'Where is the one who has been born king
of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him"- Matthew
2:1-2.
They also brought gifts to Jesus and worshipped Him. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary
his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their
treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh - Matthew
2:11.
The
gift gold represents Jesus as king. Frankincense represents Jesus as
priest and Myrrh speaks of His death. Let us seek God like the three
wise men by giving our time, talent and treasures to God. You will seek Me and
find Me when you search for Me with all your heart - Jeremiah 29:13.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are the king of kings and Lord of
Lords. Help us to give our time, talent and treasures to You like the three
wise men. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
