The Bride Confesses Her Love

Today’s Feast clic aquí en español * 2/15/14 – Song of Solomon  1 The Bride Confesses Her Love “ 2 I will be glad and exult in you;  I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. ”  Psalm 9:2 Song of Solomon an overview;  “This book is a Divine allegory, which represents the love between Christ and his church of true believers, under figures taken from the relation and affection that subsist between a bridegroom and his espoused bride; an emblem often employed in Scripture, as describing the nearest, firmest, and most sure relation: see ( Psalm 45 , Isaiah 54:5 Isaiah 54:6 , Jeremiah 2:2 , Jeremiah 3:1 ) ; also in Ezekiel, Hosea, and by our Lord himself, ( Matthew 9:15 , Matthew 25:1 ) : see also (Revelation 21:2 Revelation 21:9 , Ephesians 5:27 ) . There is no character in the church of Christ, and no situation in which the believer is placed, but what may be traced in this book, as humble inquirers will find, on comparing it with other Scriptures, by the assistance of God the Holy Spirit, in answer to their supplications. Much, however, of the language has been misunderstood by expositors and translators. The difference between the customs and manners of Europe, and those of the East, must especially be kept in view. The little acquaintance with eastern customs possessed by most of our early expositors and translators, has in many cases prevented a correct rendering. Also, the changes in our own language, during the last two or three centuries, affect the manner in which some expressions are viewed, and they must not be judged by modern notions. But the great outlines, rightly interpreted, fully accord with the affections and experience of the sincere Christian.”  -  Matthew Henry Concise Song of Solomon  Chapter 1, “The title. (1) The church confesses her deformity. (2-6) The church beseeches Christ to lead her to the resting-place of his people. (7,8) Christ's commendation of the church, Her esteem for Him. (9-17)”  -  Matthew Henry Concise Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast reading Song of Solomon Chapter1.   This is the excellent "the Song of songs," It describes the glory and excellent love of Jesus, between him and the Church.   “16 Behold, you are beautiful, my beloved, truly delightful.  Our couch is green; 17 the beams of our house are cedar; our rafters are pine. “   Song of Solomon  1:16-17  English Standard Version (ESV).   Today’s Feast is speaking of God’s love for those who choose to follow Jesus.  God has already showed perfect love for us when he sent, Christ (see John 15:13) to pay for our trespasses.  “ In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.“  1 John 4:10 ESV.  The perfect love of God was proved when Jesus went to the cross paying the whole price for our transgressions.       Can you hear Jesus calling?  Do you want to know Jesus?  Do you want to find true happiness, peace and purpose in your life?  If the answer is yes to any of these questions please click the following link; http://www.admenu.com/calling.htm The Feast does belong to Jesus!
