book excerpt
The Song of Solomon is a beautiful love story that for some holds an enigma. People throughout the ages have debated and questioned the meaning of this Holy Writ. Some have deemed it to be just as it appears the love story of King Solomon and his Queen. And although it may indeed be such a love story, scripture demands that it carry with it a far deeper meaning. “Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God” ( Heb 10:7 KJV). When you understand that on every page of the Bible you find Jesus Christ, the eternal meaning of the Song of Solomon shines forth. The meaning of this book far surpasses marital love to portray the intimate relationship Christ seeks with every believer. It is a love song between the Bride of Christ, the church, and the Bridegroom, who is Jesus Christ. Though rarely taught this book of the Bible contains a wealth of wisdom inestimable in its worth. The treasures of this song hide underneath the shroud of the mundane. The treasure seeker must discover its beauty along an unfolding path of glory that transcends the temporal to an eternal realm that few find. Great insight is within its pages as well as enduring comfort. The seeking believer who hungers to experience the depths of Jesus Christ will revisit the pages of this book throughout his or her life.
