Psalms 45:8. All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
The very clothes of Christ are precious to believers. "Unto you that believe he is preciousness." But even his very garments are savoured with it, whether he puts on his priestly robes, or his royal garniture, or his prophetic mantle. Each one of these has in it a sweet savour of all manner of choice perfumes, myrrh, and aloes, and cassia. Bitter sweets all of them. Oh! in Christ there is a wonderful bitter sweetness - the pangs of death that breed our life: the pangs of sorrow that bring us joy: his downcasting for our uplifting.
