A few verses in the last chapter of the Song of Songs are the climax of the whole book. Our identity becomes lost in our Savior as our hearts become secure in His love. His love never ends and cannot be quenched nor purchased. It is priceless, and it is ours in Jesus.
Exodus 8 describes three plagues—frogs, gnats, and flies—that God sends upon Egypt to compel Pharaoh to release the Israelites. Despite temporary moments of repentance, Pharaoh repeatedly hardens his heart, refusing to free the people
Exodus 7 begins with God's dramatic confrontation with Pharaoh, showcasing His power and sovereignty. In this chapter, God empowers Moses and Aaron to serve as His representatives, performing signs and wonders to demand the release of the Israelites. Despite witnessing miracles—such as Aaron's staff turning into a serpent and the waters of the Nile turning to blood—Pharaoh's heart remains hardened.
Jesus' resurrection is a historical fact. It changes everything! Not only does it verify that His sacrifice was accepted and that He has victory over death, but it also means that we can be sure of our future resurrection. That power that raised Jesus is at work in and through every believer if we allow it to.
While the woman in the song had to pursue her husband later in the marriage and invite him to a romantic setting, we know Jesus is constantly pursuing us. There is no need to entice Him. But when we seek Him, we can know He is pleased, and we will find Him. He desires us more than we desire Him!
There is a progression of love that equates to spiritual maturity. We grow from loving God for our sake to loving God for His sake. His desires become our own. The more we realize how great His love is for us the greater our love is for Him.

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.
