We do not wonder at the gracious words that fell from Christ's lips, for grace was poured into them (Psa 45:2), the grace of God was upon Him (Luk 2:40); yea, He was full of grace and truth (Jhn 1:14, 16). "His mouth is most sweet" (Sgs 5:16). His mouth is sweet for many reasons.
1. Sweet, because life-giving (Jhn 6:63).
2. Sweet, because supplying (Sgs 1:2).
3. Sweet, because assuring (Isa 43:14).
4. Sweet, because sustaining (Deu 8:3).
5. Sweet, because comforting (Jhn 14:1).
6. Sweet, because powerful (Hbr 4:12).
7. Sweet, because searching (Rev 1:16).
The words of Christ are like oil upon the troubled waters, they bring calmness and comfort; they are like bread to the hungry man, they bring nourishment and nerve; they are like the warm spring, which causes nature to bud and blossom; they are like an unfailing spring, ever fresh and full; they are like a salve to a wound, healing and soothing; and they are like honey for sweetness and satisfaction.
