Bibledoorajar looks at the best life has to offer

     The bridegroom had gifted the bride, our country girl, and she had offered her garden filled with beautiful scents and perfumes just to him. He had accepted her offer and had come and been thoroughly entranced with her beauty. It was the good life in Israel, the best one could ever expect, and it had happened to our country girl! The daughters of Jerusalem admonished the couple to "drink, yes drink abundantly"--a call to enjoy their love fully. The country girl had been given life to be lived at a higher level with the King of Israel, reflecting his glory. All the people around the couple were enjoying the celebration and the joy of their union.The guests were excited!

     In John 10:10, Jesus stated that He came that those who accepted Him would have life and life abundantly. He alone could give the best this life had to offer--life in the spirit. This offer of eternal life is the best this earthly life of death and sin has to offer. It alone will give us full satisfaction and meaning. Surely we, like the country girl, the bride of Solomon, would want to share our union with the One greater than Solomon to all who sees our joy. A while back, Bill Gaither wrote:

Get all excited, go tell everybody that Jesus Christ is King

I said, get all excited go tell everybody that Jesus Christ is King

Get all excited, go tell everybody that Jesus Christ is King

Jesus Christ is still the King of Kings!

Share the joy today!
