Untitled Sermon (2)

Song of Solomon 1:3–4 KJV 1900

3 Because of the savour of thy good ointments Thy name is as ointment poured forth, Therefore do the virgins love thee. 4 Draw me, we will run after thee: The king hath brought me into his chambers: We will be glad and rejoice in thee, We will remember thy love more than wine: The upright love thee.

John 6:43–44 KJV 1900

43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves. 44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

The other girls in the palace liked the king too, for he had such a magnetic personality. (It is a good testimony when other people recognize the good qualities of your partner.) Take me away with you is another expression of true love. Her desire is to be alone with him. How can she enjoy him fully with all the other girls around? And look where she wants him to take her: to a very private place, that is, to his rooms. There they can make love without disturbance and enjoy each other to the full.
