gifts
Matthew 2:9-12
When they had heard the king, they departed;
And, lo, the star, which they saw
in the east,
went before them,
 
Till it came and stood over where the young child was.
~
When they saw the star,
they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
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,
 
frankincense,
 
and
 
myrrh.
GOLD
Because Jesus is The King of Kings
His Divine nature and righteousness.
FRANKINCENSE
Because Jesus is Our Great High Priest
He lived a perfect Human life.
 Frankincense was used in the altar of incense
and represents prayers and is offered by the priest
MYRRH
Because Jesus came to die for the sins of the world.
Myrrh was used in the burial process.
Myrrh was  Prophetic of his sacrificial death.
And being warned of God in a dream
that they should not return to Herod,
they departed unto their own country another way.
Matthew 2:1-15
