This Epithet gladness is here attributed to this oil in relation to Christ the head, and to all believers his members.
This Epithete gladnesse is here attributed to this oyl in relation to Christ the head, and to all beleevers his members.
It hath relation to Christ in two respects,
1. As it quickened him up and made him joyful in all his undertakings for our redemption; Christ being by his Father deputed to his Function, most willingly and joyfully undertook it and managed it: As a Bridegroom coming out of his chamber, he rejoiced as a strong man to run his race, Psa. 19. 5. When he cometh into the world, he saith, I delight to do thy will O my God, Psa. 40. 8. When he was in the world, he said, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work, Joh. 4. 34. 2. Gladness hath relation to Christ by reason of the fruit that sprouted out from thence. His coming into the world, and doing, and enduring what he did was matter of rejoicing to others; in which respect the Prophet exhorteth the daughter of Zion to shout, and to be glad and rejoice with all the heart, Zep. 3. 14. Zec. 9. 9. And the Angels that brought the first news of Christs birth, do thus proclaim it, Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people, Luk. 2. 10.
