Song of Songs 2:4
“He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.”
In the legend of Camelot, King Arthur exhorts Princess Guinevere to “marry the King, but love the man,” when speaking of their soon-to-be wedding. That simple, but profound, statement pierces my heart and demands the same of me.
Jesus is the Almighty God of the Bible! He is the Creator of the worlds! He is the Ruler over all powers that be! He is the KING of kings and LORD of lords! But are those the reasons why I love Him? Examine your heart and ask the same of yourself. Do you love Jesus because He can and shall wield a mighty sword? Do you love Him because He alone is the wealthiest of all, possessing all things in heaven and on earth?
Jesus is the Love that has accepted me! He is the Light that has given me vision! He is the One who encompasses me round about! He is the meaning of my life!
I must marry my King, not because He delivered me from hell and saved me from destruction, nor because He is God, although those things are true. I am betrothed to Him because He is the most forgiving, wonderful, gentle, wise, compassionate, and trustworthy One I know. None compares to Him.
If today, you confess that Jesus is your King, you will soon be seated at the marriage supper of the Lamb (Revelation 19:9). Until that day, may you gaze into your Beloved’s wondrous face and behold the One who is altogether lovely.
