Altogether Lovely
“He is altogether lovely” (Song of Solomon 5:16).
This is the bride summing up her description and assessment of her bridegroom. In careful detail she has describe dhim in the preceding verses, and as a result comes to this joyous conclusion.
What is your assessment of your heavenly bridegroom, the Lord Jesus? As you think about Him today, what conclusion will you come to? Of no earthly bridegroom could it be said, “He is altogether lovely.” There will always be some character flaws or some little idiosyncracies that are not so pleasing. How many have married what they thought was the perfect man, only to find out that it was not so. But as you assess the qualities, attributes, and glories of your heavenly bridegroom, you will never find any imperfections there. You too will say, like the bride of the Old Testament, “He is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend.” The Bible is full of wonderful descriptions of various aspects of the person of Christ. Take time to enjoy some of them today.
