Christmas Restoration Fund Treasures The wise men brought Jesus valuable gifts, the best they were able to bring from their kingdoms. But did God really need those earthly presents? What on earth would a child do with gold, frankincense, and myrrh? Might it not rather be that God wanted to display his riches through poverty? If you ask the questions that way, an interesting answer results: God may be offering a rather fantastic exchange in that he allows people to give the Christ child their useless riches in order that he, in turn, can give them what they need to be truly rich. Hopefully, they are wise enough to accept what the child offers them. |
