God is LOVE. Song of Solomon describes love at it’s deepest level. Love can awaken the stirrings and needs of the heart both emotionally and physically. In the beginning it can be exciting and enticing as new discoveries and commonalities are established. This is followed by a commitment and dedication to one another. A level of trust is built. Physical expression of love can be beautiful, natural and healthy in the confines of marriage.
The story line of Song of Solomon flows like a musical play where the King (Jesus) disguised as a Shepherd comes down to the level of a commoner, the Shulamite woman (like us or his church). They build a relationship, a yearning and trust. He like Christ is anxious to whisk away his beautiful bride. -
Song of Solomon is in the Bible because it gives us an important perspective of how God is never embarrassed about how he created us. God created sex as something man and woman should marvelously enjoy as part of their marriage relationship.
