The
Bridegroom declares all that the Bride is in His sight
And now, chapter 4, He
declares all that she is in His sight, although she has
been in the lion's den. From thence He calls her, all
fair and without spot in His eyes; His heart expressing
His delight in her. It is, I judge, a fine moral
perfectness of thought that the bride never speaks of the
Bridegroom's perfections to Himself as if she was to
approve Him; she speaks of Him fully as expressive of her
own feelings and to others, but not to Him. He speaks
freely and fully of her to herself as assuring her of His
delight in her. When we think of Christ and our relation
with Him, this is beautifully appropriate.
