Scholars believe Jesus may have been a toddler by the time the three wise men arrived to present their gifts. They had plenty of time to determine what would be appropriate to bring to a King. Gold, which was for royalty; frankincense, for Jesus as high priest; and myrrh, a burial spice. This brings new meaning to the significance of the wise men’s gifts. Today Gene challenges us to take time to plan how we will worship God.

Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside’s conviction that God’s grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God’s presence and activity in your life.
