Song 8:14 | MHM | STEP | v. 14 : The believer replies, Make haste, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices (Song of Solomon 8:14 ). Here, the church asks Jesus to return quickly. She longs for His second coming, when He will take her to be with Him forever. Even though life on earth can be good, being with Christ in heaven is far better (Philippians 1:23 ). True believers look forward to the day when Jesus comes again. They do not fear His coming, but desire it because it will be the beginning of perfect happiness. The joys we have with God now make us long for the greater joy that is coming. Every time we worship or pray, we should remember the hope of finally meeting Christ and being with Him forever. As the Bible says, Even so, come, Lord Jesus! (Revelation 22:20 )

‏ Song of Solomon 8:14

v. 14: The believer replies, Make haste, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices (Song of Solomon 8:14 ^a). Here, the church asks Jesus to return quickly. She longs for His second coming, when He will take her to be with Him forever. Even though life on earth can be good, being with Christ in heaven is far better (Philippians 1:23 ^b). True believers look forward to the day when Jesus comes again. They do not fear His coming, but desire it because it will be the beginning of perfect happiness. The joys we have with God now make us long for the greater joy that is coming. Every time we worship or pray, we should remember the hope of finally meeting Christ and being with Him forever. As the Bible says, Even so, come, Lord Jesus! (Revelation 22:20 ^c)
