A fountain of gardens, A well of living waters, Flowing streams from Lebanon. Beloved

Verse Takeaways

1

Christ is the True Fountain

While some see this as the man praising the woman, commentators like John Gill suggest it is the woman praising Christ. She recognizes that He is the ultimate source of her spiritual life—the 'fountain of gardens' and 'well of living waters.' Matthew Henry agrees, stating Christ is the source that makes the garden of the believer's soul fruitful through the Holy Spirit.
