TERMS OF ENDEARMENT!
Song 2:10-13
10 My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and
come away.
11 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
12 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is
come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
13 The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the
tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. KJV
When is the last
time you heard a sermon from Song of
Solomon? Exactly! It is so intimate as to be almost embarrassing. We excuse
ourselves and slip away to give the couple some privacy.
We quickly
understand that Jesus is King of Kings and Lord
of Lords. We know Him to be both Lamb and Lion, but do we know Him as the
loving husband of the bride? Are we intimate with Him?
Our casual culture has reduced not only the majesty of God but the terms of endearment as
well. God is now our copilot and the Man Upstairs, but seldom is he our
beloved!
Song 2:16
16 My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies. KJV
Beloved Lord, remind me that ours is not a theological discussion but a
relationship of love. AMEN
