Can we tell of our love for Jesus as passionately as the woman in the song? Is it possible for us to comprehend the greatness of the love Jesus has for us? The sermon challenges us to be the beautiful bride Jesus is forming us to become.

The woman passionately describes her beloved, concluding with the phrase, "He is altogether desirable." We should be as fervent and illustrative when asked to describe our Lord's beauty. Does our life prompt them to ask what we see in Him?

Sometimes, couples who are truly in love can misunderstand one another or have unrealistic expectations. This can cause doubts and hard feelings that prevent us from sharing our hearts. The same can happen in our relationship with God. The sermon includes the basic needs of husbands and wives.

In this passage, the groom praises the bride's beauty in similar words she uses to describe him. The invitation to the bride is the same as the invitation to us. "Come away with me!" It is Jesus' invitation to take time to be alone with Him. One day, it will be His call to our heavenly home. We again visit the wedding night, symbolically picturing the wedding feast of the Lamb.

What a comfort it is to know that when God looks on us, He declares us as altogether beautiful and without a flaw. That is because He sees the righteousness of Christ. He knows we are a work in progress, but He also knows what Jesus did for us and credits us with His righteousness even now.

Solomon sends his limo with an armed security detail to pick up his bride. His ride is full of symbolism for us today. His request to behold her man invites us to behold the glory and majesty of our Savior.

The bride wakes up to find her husband missing. She is so eager to have him back with her that she goes out into the night seeking him. When she finds him, she won't let him go until they are back to the honeymoon. The sermon addresses the dark night of the soul and the passion we should have for communion with Christ.

Solomon lets the woman know how special she is to him, that none can compare. They express their desire for one another, but Solomon warns against the little foxes. Those are attitudes and stances that keep their love from staying passionate and strong. There are lessons for the church, couples, and singles.

Can we fathom how loved we are by God? Not possible! Can we love God too much? Not possible! Abide in His love is the crux of this message.
