Bride and groom

Dave Bish is inviting comments on his lesson outline for Song of Songs 3:6-5:1. Here's Dave on the Song as metaphor for Christ and the church:

2. HE DOESN'T LOVE 'YOU', HE LOVES 'THE CHURCH' (4:1-16)
He’s not besotted with ‘you’ (The Song isn’t "Jesus and me"); Christ is besotted with the church whom he loves. He is totally captivated with her, his death has made her shiny and beautiful.

Amen. It's important to remember that the bride of Christ is the whole church, not each Christian individually.
