The satisfied Beloved invited His friends to eat and drink abundantly of His bridal garden. There are three aspects of friends in John 15:13-15 that correspond to the friends in Song of Songs 5:1:
1) Jesus laid down His life for His friends – friends love the crucified Christ, v.13
2) The friends of Jesus do what He speaks and commands – they practice His words – live in union with Him through His spoken words, v. 14
3) Jesus makes known His Father’s heart to His friends, v. 15

The bridal honeycomb which delights the Beloved Christ are the cells that contain and store the honey. She is constituted with Christ in her maturity to give out from an abundant sweet supply within her. This abundant sweet supply is “a treasure in our earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God and not of us” (2 Cor. 4:7).

After entering the garden of his delight, the Beloved Christ gathers his myrrh with his spice. “Myrrh” refers to the savor of death, while “spice” refers to the savor of life. His loving bride as his garden of delight is full of the sweet flavor of the death at Calvary, and the aromatic fragrance of the resurrection life!

The Beloved Christ collects his myrrh when he enters his bride as his garden of pleasures. While searching her heart, he finds the operation of his death – “my myrrh” – in her. Instead of sin and the world with its lusts, she bears the scars, the wounds and the marks of his cross (Gal. 6:14). Her boast is in the cross of her Beloved Christ that has crucified the world to her and her to the world (6:17).

The Beloved Christ uses the pronoun “my” nine times to describe how the bride is his possession, and only belongs to him (S. of S. 5:1). This is the same when Jesus spoke to Peter of the assembly of believers as “My church” (Matt. 16:18). He purchased us with his precious blood and sealed us with his Holy Spirit. We belong to Him alone! It is a shame to describe the church as Baptist, Pentecostal, Presbyterian, Lutheran or whatever. Jesus says, “I will build MY church”.
