This if from my morning devotions with Charles Spurgeon srispture from Song of Solomon no comment by me.
Song of Solomon 4:7 KJV
Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.
The Lord’s admiration for His Church is astonishing, and His description of her beauty is overwhelming. She is not just beautiful, but “absolutely beautiful.” He sees her in Himself, cleansed by His atoning blood and dressed in His perfect righteousness, and He considers her completely lovely and beautiful. It’s no wonder—He is admiring His own perfect excellence, for the holiness, glory, and perfection of His Church are His own glorious garments on His beloved bride.
She isn’t just pure or well-proportioned; she is truly lovely and absolutely beautiful! She has real worth! Her sinful deformities have been removed, but more than that, through her Lord, she has gained a righteousness that grants her a true and lasting beauty. Believers are given this righteousness when they are “accepted in the beloved” (Eph. 1:6).
Not only is the Church lovely, but she is supremely so. Her Lord calls her the “most beautiful of women.” She possesses a worth and excellence unmatched by the world’s nobility and royalty. If Jesus could trade His chosen bride for all the queens and empresses of the earth, or even for the angels in heaven, He would not, for He places her above all, “most beautiful of women.” She shines brighter than the stars!
This is not a private opinion He hides, but one He wants everyone to hear. He prefaces it with a “behold,” calling special attention to it. “Behold! How beautiful you are, my beloved, how beautiful!” (Song of Sol. 4:1). He declares this truth even now, and one day He will proclaim it before the entire universe, saying, “Come, you who are blessed by My Father” (Matt. 25:34), affirming the loveliness of His chosen ones.
