Myrrh in the Bible - a Christian perspective


Myrrh was one of the expensive spices brought to the newborn Jesus by the wise men from the East on Christmas morning. It was a gift suitable for a king.

Matthew 2:10-11 (KJV)

 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.

    Please study the scriptures out before posting stuff that is not accurate. Myrrh was not presented to Jesus on Christmas day by wise men. They followed an already bright star and it took them about three years.
    The Wise men presented the gifts to Jesus the “young child at a house not a manger. There were not wise men at the barn. When Jesus was born it was just family. Sorry this destroys the thought of your decorations with wise men but they don’t belong there.

“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.”
- 1 Corinthians 13:1-3
