What do the gifts mean from the magi?

Answer 1

Though there could have been more, the Scripture notes these three:

Gold was a gift for royalty-in this case the chosen King of the Jews and ultimately the "King of Kings and Lord of Lords" who will rule over the entire earth (Revelation:19:16).

Frankincense was an incense intimately connected with the priesthood and temple sacrifices, foreshadowing the fact that Jesus Christ would serve as our High Priest and give Himself as the perfect sacrifice to pay the penalty for the sins of all mankind (Hebrews:4:14-15; 9:11-14; 1 Peter:1:18-19).

Myrrh had a much more sobering symbolism. When a person died, this perfuming agent was wrapped with the body to help cover up the stench of death. Jesus' own body would be wrapped in linen with myrrh and aloes (John:19:39-40).

Answer 2

The gifts symbolize the following:

Gold is meant to portray how Jesus is a "King" since He stems from the line of King David;

Frankincense is something Jewish priests use during temple ceremonies, and hence stands for Jesus as the "mediator" between God the Father and His people. Also this could be said to foreshadow His sacrifice on the cross as an "offering" for the forgiveness of our sins;

Lastly, Myrrh is used to embalm the dead during Jesus' time, and like what was mentioned above, it symbolizes Jesus dying on the cross for the salvation of mankind.
