The Gift

A king was born.

Wise men brought him gifts of incense, myrrh, and gold. People flocked to see him for this was the one written about. This was the one whos glory was seen in the heavens, which the angels proclaimed.

The gifts would see him through his time from birth till his work began, which was set aside from the beginning by his Father. These gifts fit for a King.

Rarely did people bring him gifts after that, especially those a King would approve of. For would a king accept just any gifts? People treated him with contempt by offering unto him lambs which had defects, gold stolen from his Father, incense dedicated to gods. Not many times was he ever pleased with these gifts he received for most were done in vain.

The gifts he received at birth for they were ordained by his Father since before the beginning of time. The people gave him gifts that would make any other king furious yet this king's grace was beyond the other kings abilities.

When his personal kingship had neared its end a woman who new this grace opened an alabaster jar and poured it on him for she knew his buriel would soon take place. As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them. His disciples were more like court jesters for they had not yet received wisdom from on high. They mocked her aand even as so much as to say "Some of those present were saying indignantly to one another, "Why this waste of perfume? It could have been sold for more than a year's wages and the money given to the poor." And they rebuked her harshly.

The King said "She has done a beautiful thing to me. What she has done will also be told, in memory of her." For the burial preparations of this King this was an acceptable gift just like the incense, myrrh, and gold the Wise men had done 33years ago. This woman, who had been an adulterous woman, did what was wise for this King. Hers was an acceptable gift. She knew his grace and loved him deeply for it.

Now before this King died he gave some distinct orders that were to be carried out by all who claimed to acknowledge him as King even in his death.

The King, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me."

Feasts, festivals and holidays all look good to man but with "understanding," obedience to this King was what he wanted from those who would desire to remember him in a worthy manner or give a gift worthy of this King. Celebrating his birth, death and ressurection in this manner.

The other gifts were good intentions but the latter gift was what he acknowledged. No other gift would fulfill the requirements he had laid out.

ONLY a Child of GOD (such as myself) would believe such a "story". I am astonished that anyone would look at the true evidences and NOT believe in our FATHER's BIBLE. I thank you for this short rendition. I believe that we need to continue to be faithful, worship with our brethren weekly, and spread HIS WORD to the faithless. Have a great holiday with friends and family!!

I know you made this up out of different passages of the bible for I have read it and they are bits and pieces taken here and there.

But really there is no where that it states that many brought him gifts except for at his birth, there is the account of the lady pouring the perfumed oil and Jesus instructed his disciples to leave her alone because what was before them was greater than what they understood, but if you remember another story, when a poor woman put a few (what would be in our day pennies) in the offering plate of the temple many scoffed at her offering and Jesus rebuked them saying, those of you who have to give have given less than this woman for she gave this out of her need so Jesus told them that her gift was considered greater than the bigger donations given from those who were not in need.

There is only one commandment that covers all of Jesus' teachings and that is Love one another, He teached that if you love someone you will not be able to steal, lie, make fun of, covet their belongings, kill and so on because if you truly love your brothers you will be incapable of doing them wrong. This is why Jesus taught us that through love all the commandments are fulfilled.

Merry Christmas.

definite, his human physique became created in the womb of the virgin Mary via the organic potential of sperm and egg (and don't rule out a fantastic experience now properly-called Inverto fertilization). we don't think that the fetus of Jesus became an alien implant. And ya.. the Bible does help it. Luke a million:35 And the angel responded and pronounced unto her, The Holy Ghost shall bump into thee, and the capability of the optimal shall overshadow thee: as a result additionally that holy element which would be born of thee would be called the Son of God. Do you think that Jesus became no longer created in the womb of Mary? and could you Biblically help your hypothesis? did no longer think of so, sigh. in line with threat you're able to spend a splash greater time "information" the Bible extremely than attempting to %. different faiths aside?

Well, we'd need to understand Judaism better.

Each year in winter they have Chunakah and each day, today, at least, you open a gift or present.

In the olden days these were handmade. But they are still gifts or presents.

Nope - all the people looking for him was sent by Herod and if
they found him, it would be a swift sword to the neck as his gift.

Micah 6:8 "He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." Acting justly, and walking humbly, of course includes obedience to Him.
