CAPTURED BY HIS LOVE: A SONG OF SOLOMON

“The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice.” (Song of Solomon 2:8-9) This book is the greatest “Love Story” in the Bible. The entire Song of Solomon is a drama of His love for the Chosen Bride and the Bride’s love for the Bridegroom.

This vision of the Lord Jesus Christ is another one of those capturing scenes in the First Testament. How in the world did His Own Flesh and Blood miss the beauty of His Presence? Religion had stolen their heart and they could not see beyond the great system of theology called Judaism. Their feast days were magnificent and their worship was planned to splendor, but they had allowed it to become empty of life. We live in a similar day when worship is more music and emotion than the Life of Christ in the Spirit.

The “Punk Rock” Churches are so full of lights, noise, and giddy emotions until Jesus Christ is offended and the Holy Ghost is blasphemed. It satisfies man’s superstition for something unseen but has no effect in being captured by His Divine Love. Those converted to these churches are filled with soulical worship no different from being obsessed with an Eastern Guru. It’s a good way to go to hell singing every step.

But to be captured by the Love of our Redeemer is life everlasting. This sermon has five very important points. You can learn from all five facts:

* Teaching and learning to love as children, youth and family!

* Discovering the Love of our Heavenly Father!

* Jesus Christ gave His life, it was not taken!!

* The love of being transformed by His shed Blood!

* Agape Love is Divine Love and it manifests great joy and praise in the believer’s heart!

Worship is Love that is directed to our Father and to our personal Lord. Genuine worship is man’s highest capacity. Worship can be emotional but it is far above simple emotion. God created us with a whisper of His Own Spirit and the spirit of man can have fellowship by spirit to Spirit. Spiritual worship allows the Holy Spirit to shed abroad His Love in our heart. The Holy Spirit said, “And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.” (Romans 5:5)

The soul of the righteous is open to love of which our world has no knowledge. While they run to pleasure we attend the Sanctuary of the Lord and they question what they consider of no meaning. Our heart says with Solomon, “Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.” (Song of Solomon 1:4) Our vision of Him is so glorious that we sing, “O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.” (Song of Solomon 2:14)

    Hi Pastor Joseph.

    I hope neither you or anyone else who reads this will take offense, but every time I think of the Song of Solomon, I have to smile. If anyone thinks the Bible is for prudes, reading the Song will quickly disperse that idea!

    I believe it was included in the canon of Scripture to show God’s deep love for his own across the ages, beginning with Israel, moving on to the church, and coming full circle back to Israel and will include the Tribulation Church which will grow during the Tribulation once the Pre-Trib church is gone.

    That God’s love endures even though we have all been unfaithful to one degree or another across the centuries is a continuing source of astonishment for me.

    Dear Pastor

    Our faith is indeed the greatest of all romance, tender moments with our creator.

    His love is unfathomable.

    God Bless
