Gold | 3 Gifts of Christmas PT 1 | EP199

In the first episode of our new series “3 Gifts of Christmas – Pt 1: Gold,” Walking The Text founder Brad Gray unpacks the significance of the gifts the Magi brought to Jesus in Matthew 2:11. Each Christmas, the conversation inevitably turns to gifts and giving, but in this series, we’ll explore what it means to give our best by delving into the deeper significance of the Magi's gifts. Journeying from distant lands, they brought gold, frankincense, and myrrh to honor Jesus. But why these specific gifts, and who were these mysterious visitors? Contrary to popular belief, the Magi were likely not kings, and many scholars suggest that there could have been as many as 10-30 of them traveling together from places like Parthia or southern Arabia. Covering distances of 900-1,500 miles, this was a grueling journey, requiring immense sacrifice in terms of time, resources, and effort. Moreover, the Magi made the journey in order to present gifts of profound value. In ancient times, gold was among the most precious offerings, often reserved for royalty and symbolizing something eternal and priceless. Reflecting on their sacrifices, we see that the gifts that matter most are often those that come at a cost. By the end of “3 Gifts of Christmas – Pt 1: Gold,” you’ll be challenged and inspired to consider: What costly gift might God be inviting you to give this season? https://bit.ly/3giftsofchristmaspt1 Thanks for watching and hit that subscribe button!
