Thy name is as ointment poured forth.
[Song.1:3]
Christ ... hath loved us, and hath given himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. ■ Unto you therefore which believe he is precious. ■ God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow. ■ In him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
[Eph.5:2 | I Pet.2:7 | Phi.2:9 | Col.2:9]
If ye love me, keep my commandments. ■ The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. ■ The house was filled with the odour of the ointment. ■ They took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
[John.14:15 | Rom.5:5 | John.12:3 | Acts.4:13]
O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. ■ Emmanuel ... God with us. ■ His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. ■ The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
[Psa.8:1 | Matt.1:23 | Isa.9:6 | Prov.18:10]
