Length: 40 minutes, 54 seconds. Evident in this message, entitled Gifts, is A. W. Tozer s mastery of homiletics. From John 3:16, Matthew 20:28, Acts 20:35, he asks us to note four truths: 1 the father gave his Son, 2 the Son gave his life, 3 they did so in order that we might be ransomed, and 4 it is more blessed to give than to receive. Dr. Tozer then considers who we might want to thank some day for the gifts that they gave to Jesus. The wise men gave gold lasting treasure , frankincense worship , and myrrh bitter sacrifice ; Mary gave her mortal body; Joseph gave his faith; the shepherds gave their reverent wonder; Lazarus and his sisters, Mary and Martha, gave the welcome of their home; the women following Jesus gave a seamless, linen robe; and Joseph of Arimathaea gave his own, new grave. These are the gifts that they gave to Jesus. What might we give him that we might not be outdone in giving?
