Most of us have experienced the agony of knowing we have hurt or sinned against a person we love. We wonder whether or not they will be able to forgive us. We have felt the pit in our stomach at the through of facing them and owning up to our sin.
In Song of Solomon 6, we see this exact scenario unfold, as we find perhaps the clearest picture of the Gopsel in the whole book. Following her indifferent rejection of the King, the Bride seeks the King and finds that his delighting love remains unchanged. She is forgiven and welcomed by the King. This is the Gospel on display. For Christ’s delight in His bride is rooted not in the faithfulness of his Bride, but in His own perfect faithfulness.
If you have veered from Christ or grown indifferent to Him, return to Him. He stands ever ready to forgive and to welcome you back into unhindered fellowship with Him.
