What gift can one give to Jesus on His birthday? You think shopping for spouse, children, other relatives and friends of our North American, rich culture is difficult; what do you give to Jesus who is the Creator and Sustainer of all life (Colossians 1:15-16)? While He needs nothing from us (Acts 17:25), His heart’s desire is that we might be born again (John 3:1-21) and worship Him as living sacrifices (Romans 12:1), full of love and unspeakable joy (1 Peter 1:8-9) that comes from an obedient heart (John 14:21). What keeps Christians from worshipping Him in both Spirit and truth (John 4:24) at Christmas is the mistaken belief that Jesus can be fooled into accepting our “dirty rags” or “masks” of accumulated knowledge and “ritual” acts of service as being acceptable gifts for Him on His birthday! This sermon is going to contrast the motives of King Herod, the priests and teachers of the law with that of the Magi and in doing so conclude that what Jesus truly wants on His birthday is the symbolic gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh!
