Verse 3. The chosen place for blessing. A church; a church united, a church bedewed of the Spirit. What a blessing for the world that there is a commanded place of blessing!
Verse 3. (first clause). This should be rendered, "As the dew of Hermon, that cometh down on the mountains of Zion." From the snows upon the lofty Hermon, the moisture raised by the sun is carried in the form of vapour, by the wind towards the lesser elevations of Zion, upon which it falls as a copious dew. Thus, Christian concord in church fellowship --
b) Acknowledges oneness of faith as the true basis of fellowship; not wealth, social position or talent.
c) Believes that the least member is essential to the completeness of Christ's body.
d) Realises that everything which renders one in any way superior to another is the gift of God.
b) The learned to the ignorant.
c) The joyful to the sorrowing.
d) The steadfast to the erring: James 5:19 .
b) Through it, godliness flourishes more than by a vaunted respectability. Zion was fertilized by the dew, not by the grandeur of Hermon.
c) By it the heart of Christ is touched and his reward secured: Mark 9:40 Mark 9:42 . -- J. F.
Verse 3. Commanded Mercy. Elsewhere goodness is bestowed, but in Zion it is commanded.
