Sitting at the table with King Jesus – Thomas Brooks

“While the King was at His table, my perfume spread its fragrance.” Song of Songs 1:12

That is, let Jesus Christ be but present with us, and then our graces, which are compared to perfume, will send forth its fragrance. Sitting at the table with King Jesus intimates the sweetest friendship and fellowship with Him.

My perfume spread its fragrance,” that is, my faith is actuated, and all my other graces are exercised and increased. Christ’s presence puts life into all our graces.

If the sun shines upon the flower how soon does the flower open. Just so, when the Sun of righteousness does but shine upon a Christian’s graces how do they open and act!
