The Love Of Christ (Vintage Puritan)

The Love of Christ is a series of sermons preached on Song of Solomon 4:16-6:3. For Sibbes,
this Bible book is nothing else but a plain demonstration and setting forth of the love of Christ to his church, and of the love of the church to Christ . The Song of Solomon does not simply mouth a doctrine: its sensuous imagery sings its message. It is as if this love story is played on violins. The reader is thus brought, not simply to understand, but to taste and share the delights of the lovers. This is precisely what Christ' s people need, as Sibbes knew: it is not enough to be aware of Christ' s love; we must sense, grasp and enjoy it. Only then will we truly love the Lord our God with all our hearts.
