Song of Solomon 5:1
"I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved."

Commentary

Matthew Henry Concise

📖

Summary

See how ready Christ is to accept the invitations of his people. What little good there is in us would be lost, if he did not preserve it to himself.

Reflection

He also invites his beloved people to eat and drink abundantly. The ordinances in which they honour him, are means of grace./
