At Christmas, we celebrate the birth of Jesus over 2,000 years ago. This momentous occasion was announced by angels, attended by shepherds, and acknowledged by 3 Wise Men who honored Jesus with gifts. In this message from Liquid Church’s Christmas series, The Gift, Pastor Kayra Montanez reflects on the symbolic meaning of the third gift of the Wise Men: Myrrh for Jesus, the suffering servant.

Back in Jesus’ day, Myrrh was commonly used as an embalming fluid, which is something that was used to treat dead bodies. This is obviously a strange gift to give to a baby - so what is the significance? The truth is, the gift of myrrh foretold that Jesus would be a suffering servant, a baby born with the destiny to die for the sins of the world.

This holiday season, whatever troubles or hardships you face, Jesus can relate. We pray that you’ll be drawn to surrender your spirit to Jesus in worship for our suffering servant and savior.
