"My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi." - Song of Solomon 1:14
How full, indeed how infinitely full, abundant, and soul-satisfying is
Jesus, in all that concerns life, light, grace, glory! A cluster of all
is Christ; whether the copher of medicine to heal, or of sweetness to
satisfy, or of riches to enlarge, or salvation to impart. Every way,
and in everything that is lovely or desirable, Jesus is a cluster
indeed to his people. And whether we meet him in the valley or in the
mount, in the plains of Jericho, or in the vineyards of Engedi, neither
place nor situation, neither state nor circumstances, make any
alteration in our Beloved; he is, he must be, Jesus, and that is always
lovely.
