I know that wrapping gifts at Christmas is not something you love to do. It seems to you a waste of time when those wrappings are thrown into the trash on Christmas morning. The kings from the east who visited Me had no idea that one of the gifts they brought would remain in My home until I was crucified and rose again from the dead.
My mother and another Mary waited until after the Sabbath to come and anoint My body for burial. They had anointed My body and wrapped it in linen quickly before sundown after My death because another Sabbath was about to begin.
One of the anointing oils they brought to the tomb on the first day of the week was frankincense. Frankincense is an anointing oil that is forbidden to be placed upon a sin offering because it has a sweet smell. This fact is found in the Levitical law. My Father saw to it that I was the perfect sin offering by making sure that I had risen from the dead before frankincense was placed upon Me. You see how detailed My Father is. This is why I want you to never be anxious or fearful. My Father and I will take care of you.
MATTHEW 2:11; LUKE 23:51-56; LEVITICUS 5:11
