"Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh—very different from what most people think
We all know of the gifts the wise men brought to Jesus, but those gifts aren't what most people think they were. Gold, frankincense and myrrh were not gifts for a baby; they were the burial items for kings. From the moment Jesus came into the world, He came to die to be the Savior of the world.
Jesus knew His purpose. Just before the crucifixion, Jesus celebrated Passover with His disciples. Years ago, an aged rabbi, then the last living signer of the Declaration of Independence of the State of Israel, told me that the custom of the Jews was to sing Psalm 118 at the Passover. When I read that Psalm, I was astonished at the power of the words—and their fulfillment in the birth, life, ministry, death and resurrection of Christ.
Verse five: “I call upon the Lord in my distress.”
Verse six: “I will not fear what man can do to me.”
Verse ten: “All nations compassed me about.”
Verse seventeen: “I shall not die, but live and declare the works of the Lord.”
Verse nineteen: “Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will go into them…”
Verse twenty-two: “The stone which the builders refused has become the head of the corner.”
Verse twenty-four: “This is the day which the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.”
Verse twenty-seven: “God is the Lord which has showed us light. Bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.”
As you prepare to celebrate this wonderful holiday and the birth of our Savior, remember that He was born to die for you! God loves you so much that He gave the best gift in all of history when He sent His Son to earth. My prayer is that you will have a blessed Christmas and that 2014 will be the greatest year of your life. I speak favor over you, your children, grandchildren, your dreams and visions, and everyone you love. And I ask that you stand with us through your gift of support and love for the Jewish People.
I was in Israel last week as your Ambassador to assure the Jewish People that their Christian friends are standing with them. Sadly, the need for support of Israel and the defense of God’s Chosen People is greater than ever today. But together, we can make a difference. That is why we hosted wonderful Hanukkah parties for Holocaust survivors…and committed to do even more to help them.
Even as we increase our efforts to touch the lives of Holocaust survivors and work to meet their ongoing needs, we cannot delay our work on the Righteous Gentile Heritage Center. This vital witness of Christian love to the entire nation of Israel will only become a reality if we work and give today. And remember that your gift today will be doubled through the matching gift offer.
With your gift of any amount…
We will send you this special Jerusalem Prayer Team prayer pouch.
This is a great resource for your prayer life. The pouch contains two notepads, one for prayer requests and the other for praises and answered prayers. It will strengthen your faith greatly as you look back and see how God has worked in answer to your petitions to Him.
