Daily Sacrifice, April 17 (8:5)
“Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? — Song of Solomon 8:5.
THROUGHOUT the Christian centuries spiritually-minded believers have discerned in the Bridegroom and the Bride of the Canticles, pictures of Christ and His Church. Here the Bride is seen coming up out of the wilderness leaning in loving confidence on the mighty arm of her Beloved. It is a delightful illustration of the dependence of the Church upon her risen, glorified Lord.
