Open Your Treasure


by Rev. Derek P. Elphick

Type of Event: Worship Service: Family (may include music)

Date Recorded: December 22, 2024

Location: Bryn Athyn Cathedral

The Lord encourages us to lay up treasures in heaven (Mt. 6:20) but it’s also a good practice to “open” our treasures so that they can be seen and shared with others. The wise men did this when presenting their gifts to the young Child. It says, “and when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him…” (Mt. 2:10). Why didn’t the wise men let Jesus’ parents open the gifts? Why did they open them first?
