**God has made a way to find Jesus, for the Magi and you**
In today’s Voice of God episode, Joseph Z continues to divulge the mystery surrounding the magi and their fortune gifts to Christ. He leads us to Psalm 72:10-13 to elaborate on Jesus’ kingship and His mission here, on earth. Also, we see in the Book of Isaiah 60:6 that the visit of these Magi to Jesus had earlier been prophesied, highlighting the significance of these gifts concerning Jesus’s kingship.

Next, Joseph explains that the gifts presented to Jesus were of the highest quality, reserved only for dignitaries and ambassadors. Interestingly, we learn that the quantity of frankincense presented is higher than the quantity of gold, and the Magis were not three men on camels but an army of Chaldeans and Astrologers, ready to proclaim who the Messiah was.
Joseph further estimates the worth of the gifts presented to Jesus by the Magis and how as the firstborn, Jesus had the right of the firstborn to give His riches away. As seen in II Corinthians 8:9, Joseph explains that Jesus gave His gifts away, for he became poor for our sake, that through His poverty, we may become rich. In conclusion, he assures us that God has made a way for us to outlast, outgrow the yoke, and walk in the middle of this present, evil age.
