Preface The song of songs, which is Solomon's [1:1] The Song of Songs describes a deeper love relationship of a believer with the Lord Jesus Christ. It paints a passionate love life of the blessed with the Lord. This is about love beyond salvation. It refers to the love where a believer matures enough to become a love slave to the Master - Jesus. It is such a love that is the very fabric of the manifestations of maturity and growth in Him. In this first part, we will study the love life depicted in the Song of Songs 1:1-2:7. In our study, we draw life applications from the text and ponder on personal reflections in line to the text. May the Holy Spirit open our eyes to see the glory of the Lord unknown to us from afar. In these glorious love dynamics, we see that the journey commences with a sweet freedom from all the distractions that keep us from being focused on Him. This freedom brings us into more intimacy with the Lord. In such intimacy, we have experiential awareness of the Cross and the Resurrection. The Lord uses these tools, the cross and the resurrection, to effect His purpose in our life. The goal of His purpose is to change us into His likeness. That undoubtedly brings us into His abundant life. Let's read prayerfully and marvel at His love as never before. |
