Song 3:7 | MHM | STEP | The Love of the Church to Christ. In this section, the daughters of Jerusalem are amazed by the bride, but she does not focus on their praise. Instead, she directs attention to Christ, here called Solomon, who is greater than the earthly king. She wants everyone to see the glory and greatness of Christ. This passage highlights three things about Him: the safety He gives, the splendor of His “chariot,” and His royal glory. v. 7–8 : The church points to the safety and peace Christ provides: Behold his bed, which is Solomon’s; threescore valiant men are about it… (Song of Solomon 3:7 ). Christ’s “bed” means the place of rest and peace in Him. It is well-guarded, surrounded by strong and brave defenders. This shows that those who trust in Christ are not only at rest but also safe, even in troubled times. God protects His people with angels and with spiritual leaders who guard and teach them (Ephesians 3:17; Isaiah 27:3 ; Philippians 4:7 ). Christ’s peace keeps believers safe night and day.
