Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brothers to dwell together in unity!
It is like the precious oil upon the head,
Coming down upon the beard,
Even Aaron’s beard,
Coming down upon the edge of his garments.
— Psalm 133:1-2
Eventually the anointing oil ran down from Aaron’s beard to the “hem of his garments.” A person’s garments signifies his outward expression, his testimony. For the ointment to reach the “hem of his garments” means that eventually there is a wonderful testimony produced from our oneness in the church life.
The divine anointing reaches the very hem of our garments. The church life becomes a glorious display. On the one hand it is a display of our maturity, but on the other it is Christ Himself who is expressed. When people look at our oneness they see the marvelous testimony of Christ.
