‏ Song of Solomon 4:15

The Love of the Church to Christ.

This passage is the church’s humble response to Christ’s praise. She sees herself as a garden, but she knows that all her beauty and fruitfulness come from Christ. She depends on Him for every blessing and asks for the Holy Spirit to help her grow and please Christ even more.

v. 15: The church admits that she depends on Christ for all her spiritual life. She calls Him the fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon . Christ gives the church all her strength and fruitfulness. Just as a garden needs water to grow, believers need Christ to give them life and blessing (Jeremiah 2:13 a). All spiritual gifts and grace come from Him, and without Him, the church would be dry and empty (Psalm 87:7; Ezekiel 47:1 b; Revelation 22:1 c).
