Christ Delights in His People
This verse portrays Christ's complete joy and satisfaction in His people, whom He calls His 'garden' and 'bride.' Commentators explain that His actions—gathering, eating, drinking—symbolize His full acceptance and pleasure in the believer's faith and love. As Matthew Henry notes, Christ readily accepts our invitation and preserves the good within us for Himself.
