On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh. Matthew 2:11
Gold is the metal used in fashioning crowns for kings and signifies wealth and power. When Jesus was presented with the gift of gold it signified that the Magi acknowledged his messianic office of king.
Frankincense was used in the formulating of the consecrated incense burned on the altar of incense by the priests. When Jesus was presented with the gift of frankincense, it signified that the Magi acknowledged his messianic office as priest.
Myrrh was used in the embalming or anointing of the dead.Nicodemus brought “a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about 75 pounds” to prepare Jesus' body for burial. This was to show his great respect for Christ.
When Jesus was presented with the gift of myrrh, it was a foreshadowing of His suffering and burial. This prophetic gift also signifies Jesus’ messianic office of prophet.
Jesus is the anointed prophet, priest, and king - The Messiah and the Son of God!
