Section 5
Song of Songs? As far as I am concerned, the Song of Songs is the finest romance. It speaks of two people who fall in love. Although I do not like to use this term fall in love, I cannot deny the fact. In Song of Songs we find a woman falling in love with a man, saying, "Oh, that he might kiss me with the kisses of his mouth. I am thirsty for this." Immediately, her beloved is at hand, and the pronouns change from him and his to you and your (1:2-4). "Your name is sweet, and your love is better than wine. Draw me, my be loved. Don't teach me; draw me. I don't need a pastor or a preacher. I don't need an elder or even an apostle. I need you to draw me. Draw me, we will run after you." What a romance!
In the case of Adam and Eve, we saw that the couple had one source, one nature, one life, and one living. In Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Hosea we saw that God desires to have a wife who will live together with Him. God longs to have a marriage life, to have divinity live together with humanity. But His people failed Him. In the Song of Songs, however, we see the genuine mar riage life. What is the secret of such a romance? The secret is that the wife must take her husband not only as her life and her living but also as her person.
