- 0:36Speaker 1: something that we always talk about during Christmas time, but
- 0:40Speaker 1: we probably don't recognize how powerful it is that the
- 0:44Speaker 1: story is of the Magi going to see Jesus Amen
- 0:49Speaker 1: when he was around two years old, and the Magi
- 0:52Speaker 1: giving gifts to the Lord Jesus as an infant right powerful, Like,
- 1:00Speaker 1: there's nothing not powerful about that story and about that
- 1:05Speaker 1: fact that he was given gifts. I'm calling this one king, priest, savior,
- 1:10Speaker 1: King and priest and savior, and that is what the
- 1:14Speaker 1: Lord is. That who he is, Amen, He's the King,
- 1:18Speaker 1: he's the priest and He's the savior and the gifts
- 1:21Speaker 1: that were given to him mean something. Amen. I just
- 1:25Speaker 1: want to remind us of what those meanings are so
- 1:28Speaker 1: we could really tune in to the frequency of God's
- 1:32Speaker 1: word today in the morning. Devo, let me just read
- 1:35Speaker 1: my notes here. Did you know that the gifts given
- 1:39Speaker 1: to Jesus hold important symbolic meaning? Did you know that? Amen?
- 1:45Speaker 1: If you didn't know, we gotta find out today. We
- 1:47Speaker 1: have three scriptures, so I gotta get going Revelation nineteen
- 1:51Speaker 1: sixteen Hebrews chapter four, verses fourteen to sixteen, and John
- 1:56Speaker 1: chapter nineteen, verses thirty nine and forty, and one of
- 2:00Speaker 1: the three verses, so we could focus and devote some
- 2:03Speaker 1: time to the amazing story, Amen, the factual biblical historical
- 2:10Speaker 1: story of Jesus being king, priests and savior right the
- 2:16Speaker 1: prophecy fulfilled. When some people call them the three Kings,
- 2:20Speaker 1: the Bible actually calls them magi. Amen, go to see
- 2:24Speaker 1: Jesus and offer him three gifts. We're going to get
- 2:27Speaker 1: into that in a couple of minutes. So if you
- 2:29Speaker 1: have any questions, comments, concerns on any prayer requests, listen,
- 2:33Speaker 1: don't hesitate, put them right there. In the live chat.

- 3:14Speaker 1: Or what are you worrying about? Amen, Listen, take the chance.
- 3:17Speaker 1: If you think it's a chance, just take it. Amen.
- 3:20Speaker 1: Trusting Jesus acts them to forgive you. Believe in his word,
- 3:24Speaker 1: and confess Jesus as your personal Lord and savior, and
- 3:26Speaker 1: see what happens in your life. Personally. I know there's
- 3:30Speaker 1: a lot of hoop I going around about Jesus not
- 3:32Speaker 1: being God, or the Bible not being accurate and factual,
- 3:36Speaker 1: and that Christianity is this, that and third. Yet there's
- 3:38Speaker 1: a lot of strong opinions, popular opinions, But what does
- 3:44Speaker 1: the word really say and who is Jesus really in
- 3:47Speaker 1: your life? That's what really matters, right, So let's go
- 3:49Speaker 1: for it. We're gonna pray first. After we pray, we'll

- 9:28Speaker 1: King Priest Savior Amen. Today in the morning DEVO. And
- 9:32Speaker 1: were going to get into three scriptures today, Amen, if
- 9:35Speaker 1: you don't mind. Revelation chapter nineteen, verse sixteen. This is
- 9:40Speaker 1: the prophecy. And on his robe and on his thigh
- 9:45Speaker 1: he has a name inscribed King of Kings and Lord
- 9:50Speaker 1: of Lords. You could also actually crush reference this scripture
- 9:54Speaker 1: and Revelation nineteen sixteen. You could crush reference to Deuteronomy
- 9:59Speaker 1: chapter ten, verse seventeen. Prophetic prophecy a man right here,
- 10:05Speaker 1: live and direct in the scriptures as we see it,
- 10:09Speaker 1: and we believe it, and we know it to be
- 10:11Speaker 1: true that Jesus Christ is the King of Kings. Amen.
- 10:15Speaker 1: And I'm gonna break this down in the minute. I
- 10:17Speaker 1: just want to get to all the scriptures first before
- 10:19Speaker 1: we continue. And hebw Chapter four, verses fourteen to sixteen.
- 10:26Speaker 1: And as much then as we believers have a great
- 10:30Speaker 1: high priest who has already ascended and passed through the heavens,
- 10:36Speaker 1: Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our
- 10:40Speaker 1: confession of faith and cling tenaciously to our absolute trust
- 10:47Speaker 1: in Him as Savior. For we do not have a
- 10:51Speaker 1: high priest who is unable to sympathize and understand our
- 10:57Speaker 1: weaknesses and temptations, but one who has been tempted, knowing
- 11:03Speaker 1: exactly how it feels to be human in every respect
- 11:08Speaker 1: as we are, yet without committing any sin. Therefore led
- 11:14Speaker 1: us with privilege approach the throne of Grace, that is
- 11:18Speaker 1: the throne of God's gracious favor, with confidence and without fear,
- 11:26Speaker 1: so that we may receive mercy for our failures and
- 11:30Speaker 1: find his amazing grace to help in time of need
- 11:34Speaker 1: and appropriate an appropriate blessing coming just at the right moment.
- 11:42Speaker 1: Praise God. How luya could stay here a man for
- 11:45Speaker 1: the rest of the month, rest of the year. He
- 11:47Speaker 1: was four fourteen to sixteen, powerful, powerful scriptures man. This
- 11:52Speaker 1: is what Jesus encourages us to do. A man go
- 11:56Speaker 1: boldly into his thrown with grace. He did it all
- 11:59Speaker 1: a man. He already is Sunday. He passed through the heavens.
- 12:02Speaker 1: Jesus is the son of God. He's a high priest
- 12:06Speaker 1: who is unable right, who is unable to sympathize. No,
- 12:12Speaker 1: he is without He knows our weaknesses. He knows that
- 12:18Speaker 1: he's sympathetic to us. He understands our simptations. But he
- 12:22Speaker 1: has been tempted himself. But yet he himself never committed
- 12:26Speaker 1: any sin, making him perfect and making him God. Amen.
- 12:31Speaker 1: Because only God is good, and only God is perfect.
- 12:33Speaker 1: Jesus was tented with everything. We are tempted. Yes, he
- 12:36Speaker 1: was a man in his humanity. He was tempted because
- 12:39Speaker 1: in his deity no one could tempt God. Right John
- 12:43Speaker 1: Chapter nineteen, verses thirty nine or forty. Nicodemus, who had
- 12:48Speaker 1: first come to him at night, also came bringing a
- 12:51Speaker 1: mixture of murrhor and aloes, weighing about check this out,
- 12:56Speaker 1: one hundred Roman pounds whatever that is? Right? So that
- 13:02Speaker 1: so they took Jesus' body to Jesus's body and bound
- 13:07Speaker 1: it in linen rappings with the fragrant spices, as is
- 13:11Speaker 1: the burial custom of the Jews. Okay, so we have
- 13:15Speaker 1: these three scriptures, right, you see that? Right, we have
- 13:18Speaker 1: these three scriptures. I'm not making anything up when I
- 13:21Speaker 1: break this down. We're already to have the reference. We
- 13:23Speaker 1: already have the scriptures. And of course I don't expect
- 13:27Speaker 1: you to memorize the scriptures or anything like that. You
- 13:30Speaker 1: could go and remind the tape later on, or get
- 13:33Speaker 1: into the scriptures yourself in a little bit right today.
- 13:36Speaker 1: Hopefully that'll be the plan right for this morning. Let
- 13:40Speaker 1: me break this down. The first scripture we had was
- 13:43Speaker 1: Revelation nineteen sixteen, and the Bible right here is very
- 13:47Speaker 1: clear that Jesus was giving gold. Gold. This gift is
- 13:53Speaker 1: often associated with woralty and kingship. Jesus was giving gold
- 14:00Speaker 1: amen by the magi. So in Matthew two verses, Chapter two,
- 14:09Speaker 1: verses one to twelve, we read about the wise men
- 14:12Speaker 1: from the East who came to worship Jesus and presented
- 14:16Speaker 1: him with gifts of gold, frankincense, and mr And we're
- 14:20Speaker 1: dealing first with the gold gold. This gift is associated
- 14:25Speaker 1: with royalty and kingship. By presenting gold, the magi acknowledged
- 14:31Speaker 1: Jesus as king. We read it in the scriptures. He's
- 14:35Speaker 1: king of kings and lord of lords. They recognized it. Amen.
- 14:39Speaker 1: That's why the Bible causing the wise men, That's why
- 14:42Speaker 1: the Bible acknowledges who these magi were a men, and
- 14:46Speaker 1: how they got to Jesus following they was into astronomy,
- 14:49Speaker 1: obviously following a star to get to where the King
- 14:52Speaker 1: of kings was. This aligns with the prophecy and understanding
- 14:57Speaker 1: that Jesus is the king of kings. We read in
- 15:00Speaker 1: Revelation chapter nineteen, verse sixteen, during the season, we need
- 15:03Speaker 1: to recognize the gift giver and the gift receiver. Amen,
- 15:08Speaker 1: ah man, and it's Jesus the Christ. He does both.
- 15:11Speaker 1: He received gifts and he gives gifts. Amen, because he's
- 15:14Speaker 1: that way. Number two, the second gift, Franken sense, this
- 15:20Speaker 1: was a valuable incense, just like Brother Manuel said, very
- 15:23Speaker 1: costly amen used in worship and religious ceremonies. It symbolizes
- 15:30Speaker 1: Jesus's priestly role right, his priestly role, highlighting his divinity
- 15:37Speaker 1: and the fact that he would serve as our high
- 15:42Speaker 1: priest mediating between God and humanity. God, Jesus is interceding
- 15:49Speaker 1: between the Father and us. He's interceding for us, He's
- 15:55Speaker 1: praying for us. Amen, thank you Lord man, you praying
- 16:00Speaker 1: for me. Yes, he's praying for you. Yes to the Father.
- 16:06Speaker 1: Amazing Like, who wouldn't want to serve this King of
- 16:09Speaker 1: kings and Lord of lords? Who wouldn't want to serve
- 16:11Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus. Amen, Being who he is, being what
- 16:15Speaker 1: he has done and what he's doing continues to do,
- 16:17Speaker 1: He's an amazing God, he's an amazing savior. He's king
- 16:21Speaker 1: priest and savior amazing. So his priestly role as high priest.
- 16:27Speaker 1: Read it in Hebrews, chapter number four, verses fourteen to sixteen.
- 16:31Speaker 1: So he was given gold representing his acknowledging and representing
- 16:37Speaker 1: his kingship right in royalty, Frank con says, recognizing his
- 16:42Speaker 1: priestly role, him being our high priest, Amen, not the
- 16:48Speaker 1: priest that we call priest now a days and I
- 16:53Speaker 1: want to go there. Amen, we're talking about the high priest,
- 16:55Speaker 1: the highest priest, Amen, the Lord Jesus, her gift. This
- 17:01Speaker 1: is why gift giving. It's like you're blessed either way.
- 17:06Speaker 1: It's more blessed to give than to receive. Well, these magi,
- 17:10Speaker 1: these wise men were blessed. They had to be a
- 17:12Speaker 1: man going the route that they went, the distance that
- 17:17Speaker 1: they went to see Young Jesus as an infanty and
- 17:20Speaker 1: present to him by their knees and presents him these gifts.
- 17:25Speaker 1: When I meet them in heaven, I'll be like, yo,
- 17:26Speaker 1: high five, y'all did it? That was amazing, Amen, Because
- 17:30Speaker 1: we're still reading about it, we're still talking about it,
- 17:32Speaker 1: we're still acknowledge it. Acknowledging it, and we're still recognizing
- 17:36Speaker 1: a power and the meaning, the symbolic meanings of those
- 17:40Speaker 1: gifts important, right mirv The third gift was MIRVed. This
- 17:46Speaker 1: was a spice used for anointing and embalming. It foreshadows
- 17:51Speaker 1: Jesus' suffering and death, pointing to his role as the
- 17:57Speaker 1: savior who would die for the sins of the world,
- 18:01Speaker 1: not just the sins of Israel, not just the sins
- 18:03Speaker 1: for Romans, not just the sins of that Middle Eastern place,
- 18:07Speaker 1: but for the whole entire world, both then and now forever,
- 18:13Speaker 1: all people, forever, all in eternity. Amen. The sinners that
- 18:18Speaker 1: are coming after us, Amen, he died for them. The
- 18:21Speaker 1: sinners that came before us, He died for them. Amen.
- 18:25Speaker 1: The sinners that are here with us now. Died for them,
- 18:29Speaker 1: for the whole world once, once for all. He's not
- 18:32Speaker 1: going to get crucified again. He's not going to die again.
- 18:35Speaker 1: He's not going to punish us for sin again. He
- 18:37Speaker 1: took the punishment of the whole entire world upon himself,
- 18:41Speaker 1: Yet he himself did not sin. We read it in
- 18:44Speaker 1: John chapter nineteen, Verses thirty nine to forty. Jesus suffering.
- 18:49Speaker 1: So when they gave him the murder, that was pointing
- 18:51Speaker 1: it was all prophecies pointing to his role as savior,
- 18:55Speaker 1: pointing to the way he would die for our sins,
- 19:01Speaker 1: the sins of the whole entire world. He didn't have
- 19:04Speaker 1: to do it, but he did it because God is love,
- 19:06Speaker 1: and because of love, the essence of love, he did
- 19:09Speaker 1: that for us. There was no other way to pay
- 19:12Speaker 1: off that sin debt. Right. There was no credit cards,
- 19:15Speaker 1: There was no debit cards, no ebt, no bank account,
- 19:18Speaker 1: no rich person or you know whatever. Elon Musk couldn't
- 19:22Speaker 1: even pay the sin det No one could pay the
- 19:25Speaker 1: sin debt. Amen. Only the Lord perfect sacrifice, Jesus the Christ,
- 19:29Speaker 1: could pay off the sin debt for all humanity, for
- 19:33Speaker 1: all the world, right, making him God, proving to the
- 19:38Speaker 1: whole entire universe that he is exactly who he was
- 19:42Speaker 1: prophesied to be and who he claimed to be out
- 19:45Speaker 1: of his own mouth right, the only begotten Son of God,
- 19:50Speaker 1: the sudden God, writing on the clouds of heaven, writing
- 19:53Speaker 1: on the clouds a man that was prophesigned and Daniel.
- 19:56Speaker 1: We see it all through the scriptures of who Jesus is,
- 19:59Speaker 1: and it's a how some people say that he's not God?
- 20:03Speaker 1: And know where does it see it to say that
- 20:05Speaker 1: he's God? In the scriptures, the spirit of the Lord
- 20:09Speaker 1: will speak on that. If you're relying on human man
- 20:14Speaker 1: wisdom and all that stuff, you won't get it. I
- 20:16Speaker 1: didn't get it either, Amn, but humanly speak and we
- 20:20Speaker 1: will never get it. Spiritually speaking, we have Holy Spirit
- 20:23Speaker 1: of God living inside of us. We will recognize who
- 20:26Speaker 1: Jesus truly is. So I don't blame people for saying, oh,
- 20:29Speaker 1: he's not God. It can't be. He's just a good man,
- 20:31Speaker 1: a good prophet and all that. And I don't blame
- 20:34Speaker 1: them they don't have holy spirit God. I've never met
- 20:37Speaker 1: a person filled with Holy Spirit God saying that a man.
- 20:40Speaker 1: Only people who are not filled with his Holy Spirit
- 20:43Speaker 1: will go around saying that Jesus is not God. Right,
- 20:48Speaker 1: so we have to give grace to people who have
- 20:50Speaker 1: not got this revelation because they are not filled with
- 20:53Speaker 1: the spirit. It's plain and simple, right, all in one,
- 20:56Speaker 1: that's right, that's right, man, but all in one the
- 21:00Speaker 1: gold Frankinson's mir These gifts were not only valuable but
- 21:05Speaker 1: also prophetic, pointing to the identity and mission of Jesus
- 21:12Speaker 1: as king, Jesus as priests, and Jesus as savior. They
- 21:18Speaker 1: reflect the recognition of his divine purpose and the fulfillment
- 21:25Speaker 1: of Old Testament prophecies concerning the Messiah, the michiek McGee,
- 21:31Speaker 1: the anoint, the Wine of God. Amen. They you have it, man,
- 21:35Speaker 1: I can't believe I have time. I got through three
- 21:38Speaker 1: verses and Hebrews was a long one, and went through
- 21:42Speaker 1: the three gifts a man. Hopefully I wasn't talking too
- 21:45Speaker 1: fast if I was, forgive me. I just get excited
- 21:49Speaker 1: when I see these things popping out and really impacting
- 21:53Speaker 1: my heart and my life. And I'm hoping it's impacting
- 21:56Speaker 1: your heart in your life. When you give a gift, Amen,
- 21:59Speaker 1: and you'll follower and believer of Christ. You're giving out
- 22:02Speaker 1: of love. You're not giving out of what they call
- 22:06Speaker 1: it compulsion. You're not giving, not impulse giving. You're giving
- 22:10Speaker 1: with an idea behind. You're blessing somebody, that's the idea. Amen.
- 22:16Speaker 1: Jesus as an infant was being blessed by wise men
- 22:20Speaker 1: from the east who were following a star to reach
- 22:23Speaker 1: to where Jesus was. They weren't relying on anything else
- 22:28Speaker 1: other than what God placed in the sky a star.
- 22:32Speaker 1: And then when they found them side, they said, this
- 22:34Speaker 1: is the one we were looking for. They had no
- 22:37Speaker 1: doubt that that Lord, that Savior, that king, that priest,
- 22:42Speaker 1: and that Savior was the one that they were giving
- 22:44Speaker 1: these gifts to gold, frankincense, and mirth. Go ahead and
- 22:49Speaker 1: give gifts to the Savior. Give your life as a fragrance,
- 22:54Speaker 1: your prayer as a fragrance, offering to the Lord, your
- 22:57Speaker 1: life as a living sacrifice. Amen, go ahead to give
- 23:00Speaker 1: him everything you have, because he's the gift giver. He
- 23:04Speaker 1: gave us these gifts, so now we're freely give it
- 23:06Speaker 1: back to him. And while we're doing that, people are
- 23:09Speaker 1: watching and seeing how we live. Now, I know I
- 23:13Speaker 1: can hear already people saying, well, I don't live perfect.
- 23:16Speaker 1: That's not mean. Who who asks you to live perfect?
- 23:19Speaker 1: We're being perfected by the perfect One. And Jesus the
- 23:23Speaker 1: Lord will not put us under so much pressure and say, listen,
- 23:27Speaker 1: you gotta do everything right every single day of your life,
- 23:29Speaker 1: or else you're out of here. Can you imagine that
- 23:32Speaker 1: no one, no one would want to follow a lord
- 23:36Speaker 1: like that, a king like that, a priest like that,
- 23:38Speaker 1: a savior like that, right, no one would want to
- 23:40Speaker 1: follow him. If that was the way the only way
- 23:43Speaker 1: you could do step up to the throne room of grace.
- 23:46Speaker 1: You had to be one hundred percent perfect. No, he
- 23:49Speaker 1: doesn't say that. He says, go boldly because of what
- 23:51Speaker 1: he did for us, his divine purpose, his divine plan.
- 23:54Speaker 1: He's the Savior, he's the King, he's the door way
- 23:57Speaker 1: into the throne room with grace. So he's us to
- 24:00Speaker 1: boldly go into the throne with grace. Amen. That it's
- 24:05Speaker 1: not because of anything we did. It's obvious that we
- 24:08Speaker 1: can't do nothing to earn favor with God. It's obvious
- 24:11Speaker 1: that we're still dealing with the flesh, and the flesh
- 24:15Speaker 1: holds the sin nature. Amen. Now, I heard the Gospel
- 24:19Speaker 1: rapper last night because I listened to the lyrics, believe
- 24:22Speaker 1: it or not, because I'm a lyricist myself. I listened
- 24:25Speaker 1: to lyrics, and he was in a little error. He
- 24:28Speaker 1: was born again, saying that he was born again, and
- 24:31Speaker 1: yet he said he still has a deceitful heart. Wrong.
- 24:36Speaker 1: Born again, you have a new heart and a new mind.
- 24:38Speaker 1: You don't have a deceitful mind anymore. That's old Covenant,
- 24:42Speaker 1: Old Testament, how we used to be before Christ saved
- 24:45Speaker 1: you or saved me. We don't longer have a deceitful heart.
- 24:49Speaker 1: We have a transformed heart. We have the heart of God.
- 24:52Speaker 1: We no longer think the same way. It's obvious, right,
- 24:55Speaker 1: we have the mind of Christ. What's causing us to
- 24:58Speaker 1: revert back to the old way the flesh of man.
- 25:04Speaker 1: Notice that when he was given these gifts, the Bible
- 25:08Speaker 1: records these gifts given. It was given for Jesus body,
- 25:12Speaker 1: for Jesus deity, for his resurrection, amen, for his words,
- 25:16Speaker 1: for his priestly role, that he could sympathize with us,
- 25:20Speaker 1: because he's been tempted always that we have been tempted in.
- 25:24Speaker 1: Yet the difference is in his humanity. He did not sin.
- 25:27Speaker 1: In our humanity, we sinned. See that even Jesus as
- 25:32Speaker 1: a human right one hundred percent man, one undred percent God.
- 25:35Speaker 1: This people say that's impossible. Listen, there's nothing impossible with God.
- 25:40Speaker 1: When he was one hundred percent human, he was tempted,
- 25:43Speaker 1: He was even tempted directly by the devil. Yet he
- 25:46Speaker 1: still did not sin. He didn't give in to those temptations.
- 25:50Speaker 1: So the difference between Jesus the man and us, the
- 25:55Speaker 1: man and woman roaming this earth. Amen, is that we
- 25:59Speaker 1: sinned and he and not? He was different, ladies and gentlemen.
- 26:03Speaker 1: He was perfect. He knows he's the only perfect one.
- 26:06Speaker 1: So he went and put all the pressure on us.
- 26:08Speaker 1: You've got to be perfect. You better be doing right
- 26:10Speaker 1: every day, this, that, and the third. I think we
- 26:12Speaker 1: put too much pressure on ourselves, on our leaders, on
- 26:15Speaker 1: pastors' kids. I think they get so much pressure to
- 26:20Speaker 1: try to fit in a role that honestly they can't
- 26:23Speaker 1: fit or they need to grow into. You have to
- 26:25Speaker 1: give them a break, give them a chance, give us
- 26:27Speaker 1: a chance, Give us a break, Give one another a chance,
- 26:30Speaker 1: give one another break. We're being perfected a man by
- 26:33Speaker 1: the King, Priest and Savior, the Lord Jesus. Three gifts
- 26:38Speaker 1: a man three scriptures. Read it for yourself amount of time.
- 26:41Speaker 1: I hope this inspires you to get into the scriptures
- 26:43Speaker 1: for yourself. We have a great heart of love in Christ. Yes. Yes.
- 26:47Speaker 1: And also Jesus was always led by the spirit. He
- 26:51Speaker 1: would acknowledge that. He would say that he's doing what
- 26:54Speaker 1: the Father wills him to do. Amen, we are the
- 26:57Speaker 1: righteousness of God. It's about doing right towards others. Yes,
- 27:01Speaker 1: thank you so much man Weel for your comments. I'm
- 27:04Speaker 1: out of time. Let me send you off with a blessing. God.
- 27:06Speaker 1: Bless you all. God keep you all, and remember always
- 27:10Speaker 1: that God is good. Seeing next time, Peace,
