“Thy name is as ointment poured forth.”
– Song of Songs 1:3, KJV
The book of Philippians tells us,
Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name.
– Philippians 2:8–9
These verses show us that “your name” in 1:3 actually refers to the Lord’s work. As a result of His work, He has the name that is above every name. Hence, His name refers to His work.
Adapted from The Song of Songs: A Divine Romance,
