The Song of Songs can be called
the Christian’s love song. Many readers of this book have wondered why the “Song
of Solomon” is in the Holy Bible. It appears very unique from the other
Scripture in that it seems to make no mention of the Lord, his Law, history or
prophesy. While it is classified with the Psalms and Proverbs, it is different
from them as well.
This is a song of love in
marriage. The characters in the song are Solomon, the Shulamite maid, his wife
and the daughters of Jerusalem. The love of Solomon and his wife illustrates
the love between Jehovah and his people. This is seen in many passages in the
Bible. Solomon as a lover was a type of Christ Jesus (Ephesians 5).
Personal love to Christ is the
greatest need of the Church today. The knowledge of sin forgiven and of Christ’s
redeeming work has drawn us to him.
When reading this book, may the
Spirit of God enable you to understand the true love of Christ to you. In
accordance with his love, may the Spirit guide you to lead the Holy life, which
God desires, and be a true faithful servant of him.
