Matthew 2:11 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, and frankincense, and myrrh. **** The account of the Magi visiting Christ as a child has long been the subject of paintings and stories. It is touching and inspiring to envision the wise and learned traveling to present gifts and honor to the young Christ. Though tradition places the Magi in the manger, the scriptures indicate that Christ may have been as old as two when they arrived. I can imagine traveling with the Magi with a growing anticipation of seeing the young Christ. After a long journey and arriving at His home, the Spirit bears witness that He is the King of Kings, my Redeemer, my Savior—and with gratitude I have the opportunity to lay my humble gifts at His feet.
