Song of Solomon 5:9
“What is Thy Beloved more than another beloved, ?. . .”

 

“Our Beloved (the Lord Jesus Christ) alone can do sinners good.

His blood alone atones.

He loved us unto death!

Jesus has at once an Almighty arm—and a brother’s heart!

● None is more exalted—yet none stoops so low!

● None is mightier—yet none is more tender! He shall not
break the bruised reed, nor quench the smoking flax.

● He is meek and lowly, merciful and mild—at the same
time He is the omnipotent Jehovah!

● He enlightens, purifies and comforts the heart!

● His Word cannot be broken!

● His power cannot be resisted!

● The law of heavenly kindness is in His heart!

● Great is His faithfulness!

● His royal titles are . . .
▪︎ Wonderful Counselor,
▪︎ Mighty God,
▪︎ Everlasting Father,
▪︎ Prince of Peace!

● To the pious, Jesus is the source of . . .
all hope,
all joy,
all peace,
all life,
all comfort.

● Jesus is still as gentle, as kind, as tender as when He . . .
▪︎ wept at the grave of Lazarus,
▪︎ gave eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame,
▪︎ or granted mercy to a wretch hanging by His side.

● In Him dwell all excellencies!

● He is full of grace and truth!

● He takes poor, vile, ignorant, guilty, helpless sinners — raises them to sonship with God, and makes them partakers of His holiness!

There is none like Him—no, not one!

● He is the chief among ten thousand!

● Wherever He is, there is heaven!

There is none like Jesus!

“. . Yea, He is altogether lovely. This is my Beloved, and this is my Friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.” ~ Song of Solomon 5:16

“. . Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.” ~ Revelation 5:12

“How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds
In a believer’s ear!
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear.”
~ John Newton

“Hidden in the hollow
of His blessed hand, Never foe can follow,
Never traitor stand;
Not a surge of worry,
Not a shade of care,
Not a blast of hurry
Touch the spirit there.

Every joy or trial falleth from above,
Traced upon our dial
by the Sun of Love.
We may trust Him fully all for us to do;
Those who trust Him wholly find Him wholly true.”

Stayed upon Christ Jesus, Hearts are fully blest;
Finding, as He promised perfect peace and rest.”

~ Frances Ridley Havergal, 1836-1879
