Spurgeon's Song of Song Survey
Song of Songs – Overcoming Christ
Overcoming Christ
Song of Solomon 6:5
Pastor’s Opening
THIS is the language of the Heavenly Bridegroom to his spouse. In great condescension, he speaks to her, and bids her take note that her eyes have overcome him. This morning, our subject was, overcoming evil with good. We have a very different subject this evening; for we are to talk about overcoming him who is goodness itself, the perfection of everything that is excellent. Saints first learn the art of overcoming evil, and then they learn the way to overcome goodness, too.
Scripture Verse(s)

Pastor’s Main Theme(s)
I. Let us notice that LOOKING ON HIS CHURCH HAS ALREADY OVERCOME THE HEART OF OUR HEAVENLY BRIDEGROOM.
Continued next column –
II. THE EYES OF CHRIST’S CHOSEN ONES STILL OVERCOME HIM. How is this so?
- when they look up in deep repentance,
- when the soul looks to Christ for salvation,
- when a sense of sin has been very heavy upon us,
- when we look to the Lord Jesus Christ for all things,
- when we are praying for ourselves,
- when we pray on behalf of others,
- when we have turned right away from the world, and looked to him alone, and
- when they long for his appearing.
