Word-Filled Wednesday - Songs 2:1

Sponsored by Amydeanne at The 160-Acre Woods, the "purpose of Word-filled Wednesday is to share God’s word through photo’s & a verse!"

I am the rose of Sharon,

and the lily of the valleys.
Song of Solomon 2:1

Note Matthew Henry’s Commentary on Jesus Christ as the Rose of Sharon:

"Christ is the rose of Sharon, where probably the best roses grew and in most plenty, the rose of the field (so some), denoting that the gospel salvation is a common salvation; it lies open to all; whoever will may come and gather the rose-buds of privileges and comforts that grow in the covenant of grace. He is not a rose locked up in a garden, but all may come and receive benefit by him and comfort in him."
--Matthew Henry’s Commentary on the Whole Bible, Vol. III

As we contemplate and enjoy the beautiful flower, we can also consider Christ’s beauty and His eternal love for each of us.
