Song of Songs 7. God’s love for the church: Beauty and pleasant in Christ.

Thy Strong Word from KFUO Radio

Rev. David Boisclair, pastor of Faith and Bethesda Lutheran Church in Pine Lawn, MO joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study Song of Songs 7.

Solomon expresses his deep love for the Shulamite by highlighting her beauty from head to toe. The desire to be together was beyond emotions but the beauty of the consummation of marriage. This desire to be united as one reminds us of the mystery of our unity in Christ. Christ gives himself up for His bride, the church, and presents her as without spot or wrinkle. “Lord God, You desire all to be saved, thank You for the words of Solomon and the Shulamite that paints a beautiful picture of the depth of Your love for us in Christ. Bless all marriages that their desire would be for one another and their lives are grounded in Christ. Amen”
