For His burial, He is the savior.
The three magi knew that He would save us through His death.

He was given it because it was an expensive oil or perfume. Jesus was the King of Kings.He was given gifts fit for a king.

I think it doesn't sound like much of a present.
Maybe it was a bit smelly in the stable and they

It was hugely expensive, a gift for kings.
Now of course he would be offered a barrel of oil instead

It is a bitter herb. It actually was symbolic of his being born to go to the cross.
