Song of Solomon 1:8. If thou know not, O thou fairest among women,-
Just note that; she said that she was black, but Christ says that she is the fairest among women; in fact, there is a passage in the Song where he twice over calls her fair; as Erskine puts it, -
"Lo! thou art fair, lo! thou art fair,
Twice fair art thou, I say;
My grace, my righteousness becomes Thy doubly-bright array."
O ye faithful ones, what joy is contained in this encomium which your Lord gives to you!" If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, -
Song of Solomon 1:8. Go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds’ tents.
There are two ways of finding Christ; first, follow after true believers; most of you know some experienced Christians; follow their footsteps, and you shall so find their God. Or else, go to the shepherds’ tents; wait on the ministry of the Word; the Lord is often pleased to manifest himself to his people when they are willing to hear what messages he sends through his ambassadors.
