"Your Name is as ointment poured forth! No wonder the maidens love You!" Song of Solomon 1:3
The Name of Jesus is incomparably sweet and precious.
There is no name in heaven like His.
It is above every name.
Its fragrance is unequalled.
We are never weary of it—and we never shall be.
It comprises all that we need.
It contains all that we desire.
Having Christ—we have all things.
He is LORD! All power in heaven and on earth is given to Him. He is supreme—head over all. He is all that God can give us—all that we can require or enjoy.
He is JESUS! God's Saviour , by whom God saves sinners, millions of sinners, the vilest sinners!
He is CHRIST! God's anointed One:
Consecrated to be God's Priest—to save His people!
Sanctified to be God's Prophet—to teach His people!
Qualified to be God's King—to reign over His people!
When the Holy Spirit opens up the meaning of His precious Name, and allows us to realize our interest in it—then it appears divinely sweet and glorious! Precious Name! May I . . .
know it more fully,
enjoy it more powerfully,
publish it more effectually,
and praise it more frequently!
May the Name of Jesus, be my solace, my subject and my song!
"Your Name is as ointment poured forth! No wonder the maidens love You!"
