‏ Song of Solomon 8:11

v. 11-12: The church and Christ talk about a vineyard, which represents God’s people. Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; he let it out to keepers; every one for its fruit was to bring a thousand pieces of silver (Song of Solomon 8:11 a). This shows that Christ’s church is precious to Him, like a special garden (Matthew 21:33 b). He wants believers to care for the church and produce good fruit. God expects us to use our gifts and opportunities well, and to give Him the glory. The church says, My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: you, O Solomon, must have a thousand, and those that keep its fruit two hundred (Song of Solomon 8:12 c). This means believers should give their best to Christ, but they will also receive blessings in return. If we honor Christ with our lives, we will also find joy and reward in serving Him.
