Baptist
SCRIPTURE

"Thy teeth are like a flock [of ewes] that are [newly] shorn, Which are come up from the washing, Whereof every one hath twins, And none is bereaved among them." — Song Of Solomon 4:2 (ASV)

Thy teeth

Those parts of our spiritual being with which we feed upon Christ, and masticate and assimilate the Word: Thy teeth.

Are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none is barren among them.

We should seek to so feed upon the Word as to become fruitful by it. If we spiritually feed upon the flesh of Christ, we shall afterwards be the means of bringing forth an abundant harvest of holiness to his praise and honour.
