Two years or thereabouts after Jesus was born The Wise Men followed the star to Jesus’ home in Bethlehem. They brought him three gifts: Gold, Incense, and Myrrh. These three gifts would tell the life story of Jesus by what each gift represents.

Gold : This gift represents Kingship. Matthew 2 vs. 1 – 12 tells of how the magi came to worship Jesus. This underlines that Jesus came to take away the sins of the whole world. Their first stop was at the palace of king Herod where there they would have found much gold, and a king but he was not the king they where looking for. No, this king would be found in a cattle shed in Bethlehem. His fanfare wound not be of the trumpets of men but the voices of angles. The thirty three years that Jesus was on earth he always knew who he was, the son of the most high God and he walked in this authority. On Palm Sunday the people cried out “Hosanna in the Highest” throwing palm branches and their coats down before him, hailing him as the new King, but how quickly they turned and within days they were shouting “Call yourself the King of the Jew

“Eloi Eloi lama sabachthani” which means “My God My God why has thou forsaken me”.

The flogging that took place that took place was severe. Jesus received forty lashes, we need to remember that this wipe would have had nine pieces of leather with pieces of bone or metal at the end of it which would have torn the skin. The wipe would have opened up like a fan causing tears in the skin over a large area of the body.
