Song 3:11 | MHM | STEP | v. 11 : The daughters of Zion are invited to look at Christ in His glory: Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals... (Song of Solomon 3:11 ). This crown may remind us of the honors God gave to Christ, or even the crown of thorns He wore when He loved the church and gave Himself for her (Ephesians 5:25 ). It is also about the honor Christ receives from believers when they trust Him and give Him first place in their hearts. The day of Christ’s “espousals” is when He joins Himself to His people in love—this brings Him great joy (Luke 10:21 ). The church is invited to celebrate and honor Christ for all He has done.

v. 11: The daughters of Zion are invited to look at Christ in His glory: Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals... (Song of Solomon 3:11 ^a). This crown may remind us of the honors God gave to Christ, or even the crown of thorns He wore when He loved the church and gave Himself for her (Ephesians 5:25 ^b). It is also about the honor Christ receives from believers when they trust Him and give Him first place in their hearts. The day of Christ’s “espousals” is when He joins Himself to His people in love—this brings Him great joy (Luke 10:21 ^c). The church is invited to celebrate and honor Christ for all He has done.
