Song of Solomon is an allegory that pictures the Church as the bride of Christ. As human life finds its highest fulfillment in the love between a man and a woman, so spiritual life finds its highest fulfillment in the love of Christ for His Church. The book depicts how God’s love is poured out on us believers without measure and how Christ woos us by progressively revealing more of Himself to us in our spiritual encounters with Him.
Song of Solomon discusses the stages of a believer’s relationship with Christ and reveals the spiritual history of every believer. This history progresses from an initial pursuit and satisfaction with Christ to an ever increasing desire to be delivered from self and the flesh through the genuine experience of the cross. In this process, a believer comes into an intimate, sweet communion of a divine romance, which leads to living and working in union with Christ for the fulfillment of God’s eternal purpose.
