“I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride;” Song of Solomon 5:1
As I mentioned yesterday, this is a difficult Book to comment on. Regardless though, of the Cultural differences, Solomon knew how to Love his wife! All throughout it, he is constantly focusing on his wife, addressing her in enduring terms, admiring the way God had made her, etc. This certainly is a Song of All Love Songs!
When I read through this Book, I cannot help but think of Paul’s words in Ephesians, “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her”. I am also struck by how far I fall short of this Every Day! I am an abject failure. But thank God He sent His Son for husbands like me, Sinners, who need the Grace of God every day!
