Song 2:9 | MHM | STEP | v. 9 : She describes how Christ is close, even if not always seen clearly. He stands behind our wall, he looks forth at the windows, showing himself through the lattice . In Old Testament times, there was a “wall” between God and His people—the ceremonial laws and sacrifices. Still, Christ was near, giving glimpses of Himself through these signs. Even now, we see Christ only partly, but one day we will see Him face to face (2 Corinthians 3:13; Colossians 2:17 ). Sometimes, if we feel distant from Christ, it is because of our own sins (Isaiah 59:1 ). But even then, He is near and ready to show grace and comfort.

‏ Song of Solomon 2:9

v. 9: She describes how Christ is close, even if not always seen clearly. He stands behind our wall, he looks forth at the windows, showing himself through the lattice . In Old Testament times, there was a “wall” between God and His people—the ceremonial laws and sacrifices. Still, Christ was near, giving glimpses of Himself through these signs. Even now, we see Christ only partly, but one day we will see Him face to face (2 Corinthians 3:13; Colossians 2:17 ^a). Sometimes, if we feel distant from Christ, it is because of our own sins (Isaiah 59:1 ^b). But even then, He is near and ready to show grace and comfort.
