Week 2 in the series is about discovering the significance of gold as a gift to Jesus and what it represents in our relationship with Him. Understanding the value of His kingship and the treasure of His presence in our lives. Gold was a present for a king, the most precious metal of that day, symbolizing royalty. The wise men recognized that this was no ordinary child. This was King Jesus—King of kings and Lord of lords! They didn’t cuddle this child but bowed the knee in reverence to Him. People have always valued gold for its luster, beauty, malleability, and resistance to corrosion and tarnish. These attributes also led ancient civilizations throughout the world to associate gold with royalty, immortality, and deity.
