One king held the frankincense
One king held the myrrh
One king held the purest gold
One king held the hope of the world

Do you ever wonder what happened to those gifts the wisemen/kings brought to Jesus?
Did Mary and Joseph use them to finance an escape?
Did they get lost in the shuffle somewhere along the way?
Did they hold onto them until Jesus came of age and then step aside lovingly to watch him share it with those in need?
Were the gifts on prominent display in the rustic village home of a carpenter?
Or did Mary seal them away as a “nest egg” to be hatched upon Jesus’ marriage?
Did she leave the cross on John’s arm that fateful day, returning home to a hope chest wherein she had loving stored those precious gifts, only to hand them over to another Mary for the embalming of this precious son?
Did it ever strike anyone odd that the gifts foretold death?
Has anyone ever gifted a newborn babe with embalming ointments?
Have you ever wondered . . . as I so often do?

I just re-read this and was struck by the truth that "One King held the hope of the world!"
