Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh: The Gospel Hidden in the Wise Men’s Gifts | Matthew 2

The wise men didn’t bring random gifts. They brought the gospel.

In Matthew 2:1–12, the gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh reveal the identity and mission of Jesus Christ long before the cross. This sermon uncovers how God preached the gospel at the manger and why these gifts still call us to true worship today.

Gold declared Jesus as King and rightful ruler

Frankincense proclaimed Jesus as God, worthy of worship

Myrrh foreshadowed Jesus as Savior, born to suffer and die for our sins

This message moves beyond a familiar Christmas story and invites us to see Jesus clearly as King, God, and Redeemer. The wise men recognized what many missed. They bowed, they worshiped, and they offered what was costly.

The question we must ask is simple but confronting

What are you bringing to King Jesus?
