His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.
His head of finest gold and locks bushy and black as a raven belong to the portrayal of Jesus as supreme among ten thousand and altogether lovely. That description sets Him forth as the chiefest among ten thousand and the One altogether lovely, to be beheld and admired above all others. Its meaning for the beholder is that self is to be put out of sight so that Jesus alone appears.
That loveliness is laid hold of by clinging to the Mighty One and holding fast to the promises. The promises are to be taken hold of firmly, the whole weight borne upon them, and they are to be tested by living trust. Living and working in God is the way of abiding in that loveliness, for the promises never fail. Hours of probation are short at best, so even children are to give their hearts to God early and serve Him.
