The Magi presented gold, frankincense, and myrrh to the infant Jesus. These three gifts were not merely offerings, but they reveal the spiritual gifts we are called to offer to the Lord at Christmas.
First, gold represents an unchanging heart.
Gold does not lose its value over time. It represents a steadfast faith and a heart that is not shaken by circumstances or emotions. The Lord desires us to love Him with a heart that remains faithful even when our environment changes and our situation is difficult, and to remember His grace without wavering.
How, then, can we have a heart like pure gold?
God desires to remove the impurities within our hearts and to form in us a heart that is completely pure. These impurities are not only sins committed outwardly—such as strife and deceit—but also sins formed in our thoughts, such as hatred, envy, jealousy, immorality, anger, complaining, and judgment. God refines us so that we may put these things away.
“The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, But the Lord tests hearts.” (Proverbs Chapter 17 Verse 3, NASB)
When these impurities are removed, our hearts become like gold—unchanging and pure.
Second, frankincense represents a fragrant worship.
Frankincense is a fragrance offered to God. It points to worship that goes beyond words and songs, becoming a life offered to Him. What pleases the Lord is not outward form, but the fragrance of worship that rises from a sincere heart.
Worship is not limited to a specific time or place. A life that chooses goodness and truth, seeks the benefit of others, and practices forgiveness becomes a beautiful fragrance to God. On the other hand, a life that continues in sin does not become a fragrance to Him, but an unpleasant odor.
Third, myrrh represents a commitment to holiness that resists corruption.
Just as myrrh was used to prevent decay, we are called—like salt—to resist the ways of the world and to guard the truth by living according to God’s Word.
These are the gifts we can offer to the Lord at Christmas. Love is not something we only receive; it is something we give.
आप सभी को जय मसीह की 🙏
इस संदेश से मुझे यह समझ मिली कि प्रभु मुझसे केवल दिखावे की भेंट नहीं, बल्कि मेरा सच्चा दिल चाहते हैं। मैंने सीखा कि मुझे प्रभु को ऐसा दिल देना है जो सोने जैसा मजबूत हो—जो मुश्किल समय में भी विश्वास से डगमगाए नहीं। इसके लिए मैं प्रार्थना करूँगी कि प्रभु मेरे दिल से घृणा, ईर्ष्या, गुस्सा, शिकायत और गलत सोच को निकाल दें और मुझे साफ दिल दें।
मुझे यह भी समझ आया कि मेरी आराधना सिर्फ वचन या गाने तक सीमित नहीं होनी चाहिए, बल्कि मेरा पूरा जीवन प्रभु को पसंद आने वाला होना चाहिए। इसके लिए मैं प्रार्थना करूँगी कि मेरा जीवन भलाई, सच्चाई, माफी और प्रेम से भरा हो।
साथ ही, मैंने जाना कि मुझे पवित्र जीवन जीने का निर्णय लेना है। मैं प्रार्थना करूँगी कि प्रभु मुझे संसार की बुरी बातों से बचाएँ और अपने वचन के अनुसार चलने की ताकत दें।
प्रभु यीशु, मेरी यही प्रार्थना है कि इस क्रिसमस पर मैं आपको अपना साफ दिल, सच्ची आराधना और पवित्र जीवन दे सकूँ। आमीन।
Praise the lord everyone this is such a wonderful message that we have to give gifts to our Jesus Christ on this Christmas because, he has already given us so many gifts but on this Christmas now it’s our turn so that are the things which we can give to our Lord Jesus Christ as a gift…..?
So we can give gold to our Lord Jesus Christ as a gift here gold represents to our unchangeable heart. Lord desires us to love him with a heart that remains faithful even in those situations when the situations are not favourable to us…..
And second we can gift frankincense which represents worship, worship is like prayer, when we worship to our Lord it means we talk to our Lord when we worship then God receives the fragrance of our worship so whenever we worship we must do it through our inner soul, our hearts so that God will receive the fragrance of our worship….
And the third one is mrryh which represents a commitment of holiness that resists corruption just as meyyr was used to prevent decay, we are called salt to resist the ways of the world and to guard truth by living according to our God’s word…….
So these are the gifts which we can give to our God as a gift on this Christmas…

I truly spiritually want to offer more pure gold like heart to my Lord Jesus Christ who died on the cross for me and all mankind… I will also worship with a true fragrant heart for my God and Lord so when I worship, powerful works if Almighty Father also take place more..
Lastly, like salt, I will do my best to not be friends with the world rather obey Word of God and fulfill what is written in Matthew 15:13-16.. by becoming the perfect “LIGHT & SALT” for Christ my redeemer and savior…. Dear Father, bless me to please you more and more as I learn about you and understand about your deep love beyond imagination in Jesus Christ’s name I pray Amen…….
