5 Myths of Christmas: We Three Kings
Matthew 2:1-12
The Myth: Three kings from the orient, named Balthazar, Gaspar, and Melchior, visited Jesus the night He was born and worshiped him alongside the shepherds.
The Truth: Wise Men from the East Worshiped Jesus at His Home.
1. The Worship of the Wise Men was Prophetic.
- Gold: a
gift for a king.
- Frankincense:
a gift for God
- Myrrh: a gift for burial
2. The Worship of the Wise Men was Selfless.
Self-Worship (Herod)
Promotes self
Abuses the Word
Selfless Worship (Wise Men)
Proclaims the Gospel and promotes Jesus
Trusts the Word
Is truly joyful and expressive
Serves others at the expense of self
