Frankincense – The Gift For a Priest | Sermon

Dec 14, 2025    Phil Anderson

Frankincense was a gift for a priest, symbolizing worship, prayer, and the presence of God. In this message, Rev. Phil shows how Jesus fulfills the role of our High Priest, bringing blessings of presence, partnership, and purity into our lives.


1. His Presence (Exodus 30:34–36)

- Frankincense symbolized worship and prayer.

- Jesus brings God’s presence into our everyday lives.


2. His Partnership (1 Timothy 2:5)

- Jesus stands between God and us as our mediator.

- He prays for us continually, offering comfort and assurance.


3. His Purity (Hebrews 4:14–15)

- Incense reminded Israel of God’s holiness.

- Holiness is not just achieved—it is received through Christ.


Application: Jesus as our High Priest means we are never alone, never without intercession, and always called to walk in His holiness.
