2. Charmed by Christ’s name—1:3:
   1. Christ in His resurrection became the compounded Spirit (Exo. 30:23-30), who is compounded with the olive oil, signifying the Spirit of the Triune God, and with:
      1. Myrrh, signifying Christ’s sweet death.
      2. Cinnamon, signifying the sweet effectiveness of Christ’s death.
      3. Calamus, signifying Christ’s life-dispensing resurrection.
      4. Cassia, signifying the power of Christ’s resurrection.

   3. Such a name is fragrant and more charming than everything else.
3. Captivated by Christ’s person—1:4a:
