Discover how to bring your worship as a living, holy sacrifice to God in part two of “The Gifts We Bring.” The second gift of the magi—frankincense—pointed to Jesus as our perfect High Priest, the only mediator and intercessor between God and humanity. He is deserving of our first and best when it comes to worship, and that often costs us something.
In the Old Testament, worshipers had to take a specific sacrifice to a specific priest at a specific place. As New Testament worshipers, we are now the sacrifice, the priest, and the place where God moves in power and grace!
We worship Jesus because He alone qualifies as our mediator and intercessor. When we raise our hands in worship, we are acknowledging our submission to God and His provision for us. Worship is offering God the “first fruits” of our lives, whether that be time, talents, or resources. Bringing a sacrifice of praise opens the door for God’s provision to be poured out.
