Betrothment unto the Lord! What an honor and a joy! My soul, is Jesus indeed thine by His own condescending betrothal? Then, mark it is forever. He will never break His engagement, much less sue out a divorce against a soul joined to Himself in marriage bonds.
Three times the Lord says, "I will betroth thee." What words He heaps together to set forth the betrothal! Righteousness comes in to make the covenant legal; none can forbid these lawful bans.
Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away ,” He calls (Song of Songs 2:10 KJV)! Away from Egypt’ s bondage—away . . . but with Him! Divinely betrothed!
“My Beloved!” are the words. No other voice would have so aroused her. To His voice her heart responds. Expectation quickens the hearing; and when we are truly desirous toward Christ, how quickly the accents of His voice are caught!
This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken . . . but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, . . . for the Lord delighteth in thee. And as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
