How interesting it is that the wise men brought Jesus as birthday presents frankincense and myrrh. Those were burial oils and spices. It would be like bringing a baby present of embalming chemicals such as formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde and phenol. Gross! But think this through. The birth of Jesus was for one sole purpose, his death. He came to die. These gifts were not only appropriate but prophetic! Incredible!
Matthew 2:11
Holy. Just. Love. 
I agree mindblowing and all on purpose. The Gold too perfect timing for the King of Kings and also they were very poor and I am sure the gold came in handy when they had to flee to Egypt……God knew all along we have an amazing Orchestrator and a Father who knows Best!!!!!
