‏ Song of Solomon 6:1

Enquiring after Christ.

This section shows the daughters of Jerusalem asking about Christ and wanting to seek Him together with the church. Their view of Christ and the church has grown. Before, they wondered why the church loved Him so much, but now they want to find Him for themselves. This change comes from hearing about Christ’s greatness and seeing the church’s love for Him. When believers talk about Christ and His goodness, it can make others want to know Him too.

v. 1: The daughters of Jerusalem ask, Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee . They now see the church as truly beautiful, because holiness is real beauty. They want to join her in searching for Christ. True love for Christ always wants others to know Him too. When people learn of Christ’s worth, they want to find Him and be close to Him. Searching for Jesus is best done together with other believers. We know Christ is in heaven, but we seek Him by faith and prayer, joining with all who call upon His name (Psalm 24:6; 1 Corinthians 1:2 a).
