WERE THE MAGI REGIFTERS...???
Over the recent Easter Season holidays I was watching one of the TV specials depicting the life of Jesus...
Later, while contemplating the scene showing the visit of the Magi, the three wise men from the East who came to Bethlehem at the time of Jesus’ birth bearing gifts of Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh to be bestowed on the newborn ‘King Of Kings’...it dawned on me.......THE MAGI WERE ‘REGIFTERS’...
For those of you who don’t know about ‘REGIFTING’....... It is the ancient and often frowned upon art of giving to someone else a gift that was originally destined to be yours...After all, if Jesus were really THE KING OF KINGS and the Creator of all matter, then hadn’t those precious gifts of the Magi originated in the heart and mind of OUR CREATOR...JESUS HIMSELF...???
The difference between our regifting and the Magi’s is that theirs were given in Love and Faith and returned to their RIGHTFUL OWNER...It’s like that with all the gifts given to us by OUR CREATOR...They are all meant to be given away...In fact, Love isn’t Love unless it is given away...
Recall all those gifts we have received at Christmas time which have been collecting dust under our beds, in our attics, or in our junk filled garages never to be used or enjoyed that could have been given away...
O God, giver of ALL that is good, help us to be good and faithful stewards of ALL you have given us...!!!
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND...!!!
