The Christian Tradition of 
Christmas Gift Giving

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem . . .On 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. ~ Matthew 2:1

From the earliest times of the account of the journey of the Wise Men or Magi has been a tremendous part of the Christmas Season. It was through their love and desire to know the King of Kings that they traveled many miles, even risking their lives in encounters with King Herod, so that they might present their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. In our Christmas Season today we continue that gift giving tradition and in our Christian lives each week we practice the same spirit of the Magi in giving tithes and gifts to Jesus our King of Kings so His ministry may continue and expand.
