Day 22 - Song of Solomon (Christ’s love for His Bride, the Church)
I am my beloved’s, and his desire is toward me. (Song of Solomon 7:10)
Although at face value, the Song of Solomon is about the wooing and wedding of Solomon with a shepherdess, allegorically, it pictures Israel as God’s espoused bride (Hoseah 2:19-20), and the Church as the Bride of Christ. Husbands and wives can glean treasures for their relationship by reading this short book; and Christians, both single and married, can learn about Christ love for believers who make up the Church which is the Bride of Christ. I just made a reminder to read the Song of Solomon with my wife at the earliest opportunity:)
