This past weekend Aaron and I sang in the Christmas program for our church, "Is There Any Wonder?" It was a blast! We have been preparing for a while, and I've let the girls listen to the CD for the last two months, so I knew they would be very excited to see it in action. My parents said they really enjoyed it (especially the beautiful dancers!).
The program was built around the three gifts that the wise men presented to Jesus after their long journey to come worship him. Gold signified the kingship of Christ. Frankincense represented the deity of Christ (it was a fragrance that was often offered to God in the Old Testament as worship and sacrifice). Myrrh was to prophesy about the coming death of Christ in the place of sinners (at that time it was burned as an incense at funerals, or for embalming). We pray that it was Christ-exalting. It was an encouragement to both of us. We couldn't get a great picture, but I will try again soon to get them in their Christmas dresses that Gramme bought.
