A REFRESHING CANTICLE,
DECEMBER 9, 1860
Song of Solomon 1:4
(first of three)
Pastor’s Opening
THE Hebrew word for “love” here is in the plural: “We will remember thy loves.” Think not, however, that the love of Jesus is divided, but know that it hath different channels of manifestation. All the affections that Christ hath, he bestows upon his Church; and these are so varied that they may well be called “loves” rather than “love.”

Main Theme(s)
We are resolved to remember all the goodness’s Christ Jesus has shown to us through his life and death.
In our own lives and remembrances – not by our constancy but his tenacity – his love for us.
How he effects us to recall… the practical benefits of remembering are explored.
What we can do to see our own lives sweetened in remembrance.
