Content Title/Answer to Shulammite's Request
Text/1: 8
It is an expression like a painting
The answer comes to the bride's persistent request. This answer is not from the groom, but from the singers. This is a unique response from Lee Beom.
1. have a target
“You are the prettiest of women” = verse 8
A modifier used by singers elsewhere for the bride. They say she is the prettiest of women
Those who are prettier among other women, those who are prettier than themselves
Ear beauty is morally and spiritually beautiful.
“Even though she is black,” she is a pretty person with a good heart and a pure heart.
(1) Believers praise other believers
This is the virtue of believers
(2) Believers should be more beautiful than their neighbors
(3) Believers must be prettier than anyone else
It is the work of believers that they may see your good deeds and give glory to your heavenly Father.
2. There is one assumption
“Because you don’t know” = verse 8
This implies that we must know that believers must know where Christ is.
Therefore, if you do not know, is an assumption
(1) When we know where Christ is, we receive his protection.
(2) to have a close relationship in such a place
(3) Under such circumstances, believers have peace of mind.
3. There is a way to go
“Following in the footsteps of the flock” = 8
We see two basic meanings in this expression. These are the conditions for believers to meet with Christol.
(1) Follow the footsteps of the flock
“The Footsteps of the Sheep”
It is an attitude to seek Christ. The flock of Christ has a footsteps. This is a common element. Those who are called to one hope are Christians.
They leave their footprints wherever they go. It is in their obedience to the shepherd, in their faith in the shepherd, in the position of denying themselves and chasing after Christol, and in their love for each other. It is a common characteristic. The flocks of Christ live by leaving their haircut traces in history.
(2) Go to the tents of the shepherds
You shall feed your young goats by the tabernacle of the shepherds.
Shulammi appears as a ‘shepherd’ who feeds ‘your goats’
Believers participate in the shepherd's work irrespective of gender. This is because each has his or her own responsibilities according to the needs of the shepherd. Shepherds take care of the sheep and the shepherd feeds the goats. What believers do is different. Some feed sheep and some feed goats.
The expression “feeding goats” has many deep meanings.
That there are children to feed, they also need a shepherd, and caring for them shows that we all need the same shepherd.
Furthermore, it shows that God's ministers do not differentiate between men and women. The singers are not elsewhere, but beside the tents of the shepherds. Tents Literally such tents used by the shepherds, but symbolically these are the churches
Christ is Lord of the Church The Church Comes Out as a Tabernacle
a) Christ can be found at the tabernacle of the shepherds
Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am among them. He is not far from the shepherds' tents. Diligent seekers know where he is and seek him.
b) Christ is always with the shepherd
This is unspeakable consolation to them, and joy, that Christ can take care of them and take care of them when they need it.
c) You can feed your goats there.
A goat kid is weak and powerless, but this is a livestock necessary for a shepherd. Even that must be taken care of.
Singers say you must feed your goats
Don't do it elsewhere. It's dangerous to be alone, but it's safe when you're near the shepherds' tent. It shows what the benefits of Christians living in cooperation with each other are.
