“A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me.”~ Song of Solomon 1:13 ~ Myrrh may well be chosen as the type of Jesus on account of its preciousness, its perfume, its pleasantness, its healing, preserving, disinfecting qualities, and its connection with sacrifice.

“My heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.”~Psalm 22:14 ~ Our blessed Lord experienced a terrible sinking and melting of soul. “The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity, but a wounded spirit who can bear?” Deep depression of spirit is the most grievous of all trials; all besides is as nothing.

“Let us go forth therefore unto Him without the camp.”~ Hebrews 13:13 ~ Jesus, bearing His cross, went forth to suffer without the gate.

“On Him they laid the cross, that He might bear it after Jesus.”~ Luke 23:26 ~ WE see in Simon’s carrying the cross a picture of the work of the Church throughout all generations; she is the cross-bearer after Jesus.

“He answered him to never a word.”~ Matthew 27:14 ~ He had never been slow of speech when He could bless the sons of men, but He would not say a single word for Himself. “Never man spake like this Man,” and never man was silent like Him.

“He was numbered with the transgressors.”~ Isaiah 53:12 ~ Why did Jesus suffer Himself to be enrolled amongst sinners? This wonderful condescension was justified by many powerful reasons.

He was heard in that he feared.”~ Hebrews 5:7 ~ Did this fear arise from the infernal suggestion that He was utterly forsaken.

“His sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.”~ Luke 22:44 ~ The mental pressure arising from our Lord’s struggle with temptation, so forced his frame to an unnatural excitement, that his pores sent forth great drops of blood which fell down to the ground.

“Ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone.”~ John 16:32 ~ Few had fellowship with the sorrows of Gethsemane.

“My beloved.”~ Song of Solomon 2:8 ~ This was a golden name which the ancient Church in her most joyous moments was wont to give to the Anointed of the Lord.

“Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.”~ 2 Timothy 2:1 ~ Christ has grace without measure in Himself, but He hath not retained it for Himself.

“Sin . . . exceeding sinful.”~ Romans 7:13 ~ Beware of light thoughts of sin. At the time of conversion, the conscience is so tender, that we are afraid of the slightest sin.
