Matthew 2:11
By understanding the substance of myrrh, every person can see the following qualities of Jesus' work on the earth:
1. Consecrated
Illustrated in the holy anointing oil
What was consecrated?
Jesus
Jesus’ work on earth
Work that only God Himself could accomplish
Addressing humanity’s
Sin problem
Death problem
2. Eternal
Because He has an eternal throne, His garments are “scented with myrrh”
Myrrh recognized the eternal nature of God the Son who intended to work within His creation in order to redeem it
As well as the work itself
Important truth to keep in mind
God is not limited by time
So His schedule will often look far different than yours
Because He can see all of eternity—past, present, future
You cannot
3. Pain
Jesus became my “myrrh”
Because by refusing the wine mixed with myrrh, He took on in full force the pain that came from MY sin
Myrrh was used as an anesthetic
Different types of anesthesia
Some totally knock you out
Some kind of make you do a deep “doze”
Others are local
Numb the pain
Jesus, however, refused to go under the anesthesia
Took on the pain full force
Pain that should have been mine
So that I would not have to
Thus He became my “myrrh”
4. Fragrance
Myrrh was used to remove the scent of death
As Jesus’ body was embalmed
Strip of linen
Sealed with aloe/myrrh “glue”
Another strip of linen
Sealed
I become the fragrance of Christ to those watching me
2 Corinthians 2:15
2 Corinthians 2:15 (NKJV)
15 For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.
Now What?
Jesus Became Your Myrrh
He has set you apart for Himself
He has given you life that has made you eternal
He took the pain that should have been yours
He has removed from you the scent of death
What’s Your Next Move?
Receive the gift of everlasting life Jesus promises to those who believe in Him for it
He paid for it, becoming our “myrrh”
