"I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock." (S.O.S. 5:5)
No, this is not a mistake; as much as I can tell, this is right and has something to do with something; what, I am not sure, but I know, with all my heart that this is what the title is meant to be. Besides, this is my journey, and thus far, it is more than exciting, it is filled with surprises and confirmations around every single corner, every single day! For anyone out there that might agree, blessings to you! Enjoy!
The most important part of this thing we call Christianity, is the fact that we need Christ! Plain and simple, every single principle and standard that makes this faith real and undeniable is that without Christ, nothing we believe in counts or has any value, whatsoever! It is not only that He came, but that He came with purpose and victory; without Him doing what He did, there was no hope for anyone, not a single living soul!
Matthew Henry paints two very contrasting illustrations for this myrrh and where it might have come from: one is from her, as she must have dipper her hand into a jar that was close by the bed, maybe to anoint his dew drenched head, as she greeted him at the door; the other illustration is more profound, yet less interesting to some, as it usually is in most religions of the world: that the myrrh was left upon the bolt, by His hand, before He withdrew it from the hole!
Oh well, just another day...
"Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the Gospel of God, (which he had promised afore, by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; and declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: by whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: among whom are ye also called of Jesus Christ: to all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ." (Romans 1:1-7)
