Best Answer

A:In Matthew's Gospel, the magi brought gold, frankincense and myrrh as gifts for Jesus. These were extremely valuable and no doubt the author intended the presents to show the high regard in which the wise men held Jesus. One of these gifts, myrrh was used as an embalming oil, so it is possible to consider it as foretelling the death of Jesus, although another way of looking at it is that death can not be foretold because it is inevitable, whether by crucifixion or by natural causes.

If Jesus died for your sins was his death in vain?

Jesus died so we would not have to. The wages of sin is death and we all have sinned. Jesus is the only one who never sinned so He was the only one who could take our place. This is the gift of salvation. There are millions who have accepted His gift of salvation, so in one sense, His death is not in vain. However, He cares for and loves YOU. If you do not accept His gift, then you are throwing His gift in His face.
