Frankincense Sacra is the rarest and most expesive in the Frankincense family of oils. If I am not mistaken, based on where the Magi traveled from, Frank Sacra appears to be the variety that Jesus would've been gifted at His birth. The implication of the Frankincesne was that they recognized him as PRIEST and KING and worshiped His as such. HalleluYah!
Use this magnificent oil as a reminder of the Messiah, that by His grace He has made us kings and priests, (Revelation 1:6) and that we are to pour out our lives in holiness as an offering to Him until we stand before Him for our wedding.
