Grace be unto to you from me, my Christian brothers & sisters. Let us thank God once again for allowing us to share in his word & fellowship, he showing his everlasting mercy (Exodus 34: 6-7). Giving thanks to all of you who have been faithful in being a part of this calling on my life. Today, my topic shall be on "God's Unconditional Love". The Song of Solomon is a love song set in imagery of Oriental splendor & the delights of Wedded Love. Marriage was ordained of God.
(Genesis 2: 24)
Solomon & his Shulamite maid sets forth the love between not only themselves, but God & his people. Moreover, Solomon as a lover, was a type of Christ (Ephesians 5). Personal Love to Christ is the greatest need of the church today. We often don't think of adultery in the sense of committing unto God, but as in the day of Hosea (Hosea 3:1), the church found herself committing adultery unto God & not loving him as depicted in the wonderful love story of Solomon. Hosea showed this kind of love toward his wife, who had left him & lived as a prostitute, he searched for her, paid a price to obtain her freedom & brought her home. God loves us this way in spite of our unfaithfulness. For we are his forever (Psalm 100: 3). God will never forsake us, even though we fall short of living our best for him. He loves us with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31: 3) & who shall separate us from the love of Christ (Romans 8: 35-39). What a story of love & marriage in this song & Solomon's wife attended David in his last days (1 Kings 1: 1-4). Solomon was King in the family which was to produce the Messiah. And it seems not unfitting that his Marriage should, in a sense, prefigure the Messiah's Eternal Marriage to his His Bride. The joys of this song, as I think, will find their Climax in the Hallelujahs of the Lamb's Marriage Supper (Revelation 19: 6-9). Make no mistake that God does Love us *Unconditionally*. Remember always to pray for one another in the uplifting of spirit & healing. If any one of you wish to be opted from this list, tell me to do so, as I wish not to offend anyone. Tell your friends & family to join me, with having them send me their verse & I shall add them to the list, as to make this seed of faith grow.
May the blessings of God be with you always.
*Peace*
