In the previous passage of scripture, we witnessed the imperfections of a husband and his wife. As JC Ryle stated, “Marriage is, after all, the union of two sinners, not two angels.” A healthy marriage is not void of conflicts. Conflicts in marriage are inevitable, because marriage involves two individuals who are far from perfect, and are in daily need of God’s rescuing and enabling grace. Chapter six of Song of Solomon shows us how conflicts should be resolved within a marriage.

Solomon and his bride are married and have fully consummated their marriage. This is where one expects to find those classic words, “and they lived happily every after.” We know that real life does not work that way. Even the greatest marriages on earth face constant mountains that must be overcome. Some marital issues are simply the result of living in a broken world. Other problems are the result of our own sin.

This passage opens with Solomon continuing in his pursuit of his Shulamite bride. Verse eight of chapter four is the first time in the book that Solomon calls the Shulamite “his bride,” which is the word kallah in Hebrew. This word is literally translated as “bride” or “young wife,” thus acknowledging the public status of their relationship. The two have now joined and have become one flesh (Genesis 2:24). This union results in abundant delight and pleasure (5:1). Sex was meant not only for procreation, but also for pleasure between a husband and wife. The intimacy we experience in sex with our spouse was designed to point us to a greater intimacy that we will experience when our Savior appears for His bride at the second coming. He has united us to Himself, and empowered us with His Spirit to battle our sin and glorify Him in our lives and marriages. Jesus didn’t do all this because we were beautiful and unstained. He did this to make us beautiful. The gospel renews what sin has distorted!

"Fulfilled - The Disease and Its Cure Matthew 23" August 04, 2019
Monday Aug 05, 2019
Monday Aug 05, 2019
After successfully defending His ministry three times, Jesus now turns to the crowds and His disciples to teach them. It must be understood that the religious leaders have not suddenly disappeared. They are there to hear these scathing judgments from Jesus. However, Jesus doesn’t refer to them personally. He is shepherding His people. The scribes and pharisees do not belong among that number as Jesus points out in seven distinct woes, or judgments, against them. The main theme in the first 13 verses is what Jesus identifies as the disease and its cure. The disease is pride. The cure is humility.

Last week, we looked at Creation in Psalm 8, how God made everything good, to reflect His character. Man was given a special position, to rule over creation, and the privilege of bearing His image and likeness (Gen 1:26-27). This week we look at the Fall through Psalm 51, David’s prayer for cleansing and restoration following his sin with Bathsheba, his friend Uriah’s wife (2 Sam 11-12).

We don’t need a temple or to perform sacrifices for our own righteousness or ability to come before God. Instead we need faith in Christ Jesus. In Him, and the forgiveness He freely gives us and commands us to model, we now have efficacy in our prayers, whoever we are and wherever we may be.
