Seeking - Having
Today's reading has imagery and wording that describes the intimacy between a man and his wife. The young woman in chapter 3 strongly desires to complete her union with her chosen man and seeks for him in Jerusalem, looking in all the streets and squares late at night. Finally, exhausted, she finds him and takes her to bedroom.
Together and alone, he describes her beauty in chapter four(1-11). He tests her for her virginity in verse 12-15 and then she invites him to partake of her consummate their marriage.
The typology is indicative of us seeking Christ and finding him and desiring an intimate spiritual relationship with Him. Before this can happen, he must ascertain that we are pure. By His grace and through the justification of His word and the sacrifice of His blood, the bride has made herself ready for Him.
May God bless you and bless the reading of His Word.
