Spurgeon's Song of Song Survey
Song of Songs – Love Joying in Love
Love Joying in Love
Song of Solomon 5:1
Pastor’s Opening
No sooner does the spouse say, “Let my Beloved come into his garden,” than her Lord answers, “I am come into my garden.” “Before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.” When we desire our Lord Jesus to come to us, he has already come in a measure; our desire is the result of his coming. He meets us in all our desires, for he waiteth to be gracious. Our “come” is no sooner uttered than it is lost in his “Behold, I come quickly!”
