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.
