The Bride and the Bridegroom Speaks

Click here to read Song of Solomon 2.

Here the Bridegroom calls Himself "the Rose of Sharon" and the "Lilly of the Valley" to show His presence in this world with His Church. To which the Bride responds and compares her Bridegroom to an apple tree, which is the most pleasant and profitable of all trees. She remembers the comfort that she had had with Him. She declares how indebted she is to Him for all that she has. She confesses her love for Him. She acknowledges the power and tenderness of His Grace. She prays that her communion with Him be not interrupted.

She rejoices in hearing Him speak. She is delighted with the glimpses she has of Him in her life. She accepts His gracious invitation to come and walk with Him. She accepts his offer to come and talk with Him. In that conversation, He charges her to be strong in the faith and not be afraid. He charges her to remember her confession and to come and phrase Him and speak His Gospel.

Then the Bride takes comfort in her hope and expectations that she has in the Bridegroom. She takes comfort in His communion with her and His assurance of His faithfulness.
