SONG OF SOLOMON 3

THE BRIDE SEARCHES FOR HER BELOVED

The bride wakes one night, unable to find her man, and goes to look for him. Throughout the book, the couple is separated multiple times and they long to find each other again. Although this could be literal and descriptive of a couple in love, many interpretations of this song believe that this is an image of God's love for the Israelites, and ultimately Christ’s love for the Church. 

The time has come for the wedding, and Solomon makes a grand entrance. In Ephesians 5, Paul compares God’s love for the Church to a groom’s love for his bride. Whether this wedding is literal or symbolic, love is shown as a beautiful gift from God.

Song of Solomon 3:4 - I found him whom my soul loves.
