Christmas Gold
Psalm 45:13All glorious is the princess within her chamber ; her gown is interwoven with gold.
Matthew 2:11On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh.
Gold is the color of royalty. In a split second gold can make the common into something regal…something to be noticed and appreciated. The moment we see the color gold we recognize a certain value or worth. Gold will not be ignored. It stands on its own and tells the world, “I am valuable.”
When God created the world He looked at what He had done and called it good. Through man’s rebellion the dark stain of sin made creation somewhat plain and ordinary at best. God refused to leave what He had called good to be left helpless. He sent His son Jesus to provide the sacrificial blood that would make His loved ones royalty.
It was not a foolish man who brought the baby Jesus a gift of gold. It was a wise man who by his gift recognized a baby born to an unwed mother as king.
Many people search for treasures of gold and never find them. This Christmas let the color gold remind you of the treasure of life that is found in our savior Jesus Christ.
