Roses, lilies, banners and standards. These are a few of the things the Lord, Jesus Christ, is to the church. He's the sweetness of the Rose of Sharon, the peace of the Lily of the Valleys, the love and protection of the banner over us, as referenced in Song of Solomon 2:1-4, and the righteousness and judgment of the standard of God in Isaiah 59:19. He’s provided all of this and so much more, for his beloved church.
