Song 3:9-10 | MHM | STEP | v. 9–10 : The church admires the beauty and strength of Christ’s “chariot”: King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon. He made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom of gold, the covering of it of purple, the midst thereof being paved with love (Song of Solomon 3:9-10 ). This chariot stands for the gospel or the way Christ comes to save and carry His people. Everything about it is precious and strong—silver, gold, cedar, and purple. But above all, it is filled with love. This love is the main part of the gospel and of God’s plan to save us. Christ’s love is better than all riches, and it is the reason for all that He does for His people (2 Samuel 23:5 ).
