In the Christmas story, the wise men bring gifts to the Lord: gold, frankincense and myrrh.

The gold is listed first, because it is the inmost - signifying good, e.g. the good that we do when we love the Lord and the neighbor.

The frankincense is next. It signifies rational truth, which is the set of true ideas that we know, not about external things like cars or cooking, but about what is really good, and what is really true.

These rational truths are built on earlier knowledges that we learn, before we have really made them our own. Those early knowledges about spiritual things - often learned in childhood - are represented by the myrrh.

In a way, these gifts are really a reciprocation. We can't actually give them to the Lord until the Lord has given them to us. We necessarily start out by learning and doing the Lord's law (myrrh). The Lord can then call up those memories to become rational truths (frankincense). Then, over time, and with effort, those truths can be transformed into good (gold). The wise men from the East had gone through this process of learning and becoming vessels that could receive truths and goods. They were able to perceive the Lord's birth, and find him, and bring gifts to him.

It would be simple to think that when the Bible mentions "Jews" it is simply talking about the descendants of the tribe of Judah, the only ones among the people of Israel who remained in the Holy Land at the time of the Lord's ministry. But like all other peoples, the Jews also have a specific spiritual meaning. "Judah" represents "the Lord in respect to the Divine goodness of His Divine love". Because the Lord loves us so infinitely much, He has an unimaginable desire for good things to come to us and for us to turn to good. The descendants of Judah, then, represent people who are possessed of a similar desire on a human level -- people who genuinely love others, and from that love desire what is good for others. Since we are defined by our loves and gather into churches based on our loves, Jews also represent people in the Lord's true church, and who have doctrinal teachings that are right and true.
