Did myrrh mean anything to Jesus?

Asked 3 years ago

I know that Myrrh was very symbolic in the Bible times. But, do we know if Jesus had any personal use or meaning in it?

Myrrh was used as an anointing oil and for embalment at that time. Bible scholars believe Jesus receiving Myrrh at his birth is a prefiguring of his death and embalment. In other cases, Myrrh, along with Gold and Frankinsence are special gifts that were presented to kings at that time.
