The Song of Solomon is about the relationship that the church enjoys with Jesus Christ, our Maker who has become our husband. We need a song—an excellent song—about love… about beautiful love. Not about the duty of love, but about being loved and about the love that we already have in us by grace but don’t always recognise.

    Make Haste, My Beloved

    The Song ends with a request for Jesus to come to us. These words (v. 14) are clearly our words to Him if we are betrothed to Him.

    Our Beloved's Gracious Request

    This may seems like a surprising conclusion to the Song of all Songs. It speaks about the love between Jesus Christ and His church in a beautiful allegory. You might expect such a song to end with the bride, Shulamite (the princess of peace), moving into the palace of King Solomon (the prince of peace), to live happily ever after. Instead, we find the beloved and his bride separated—not due to a quarrel, but with Him expressing His desire to hear from her (8:13), and with her expressing her desire for Him to come to her (8:14).

    Jesus' Betrothed Becomes a Beautiful Bride

    What we have in our text today (Song of Solomon 8:10-12) is the bride, who has just expressed interest in helping her little sister, recognising the progress that she has made over the years by His grace.

    The Affectionate Love of Christ for Us

    Today we continue in our sermon series in the Song of Solomon. We are in the last chapter where the bride's desires desire for her husband's love are passionately expressed to Him. We have seen that the traditional, and best understanding of the Song of Solomon is that the bride is the church and that her beloved groom is Christ. It is about their mutual love. So here we are now, in the last chapter, and most of it is taken up with the church expressing her earnest desire for Jesus Christ to keep on manifesting His love to her as His bride.

    Leaning on Jesus

    Today in our Song of Solomon sermon series, we come to a verse that beautifully captures the essence of our relationship with Jesus Christ in this world.

    Oh, That You Were Like My Brother

    Today we are returning to our sermon series in the Song of Solomon. This Song is an allegory about the relationship of Christ with His church. It has so much that is helpful. It shows the desire He has for us—the delight He has in us. It shows how we rejoice to be the object of His desire. It shows the ups and downs of our experience (very realistic). Most recently, we saw a time when He has been restored to her. He expressed His delight in her and His desire for her. She invited Him to come away with her and to delight in her fruits that she prepared for Him. Chapter 8 is really a continuation of the expression of her desire to commune with Him.

    Come, My Beloved

    This Sunday, we will continue our series in the Song of Solomon. For the last couple of weeks, we have been looking at chapter 7 where the Bridegroom (who represents Christ in the Song of Solomon) expresses His delight in His Bride (who represents the believing church in this Song—she is one bride with many members). After hearing of His delight in us, we (His church) conclude that: "I am my beloved's, and His desire is toward me."
