Bibledoorajar joins the bride in concen for others

"God forgave my sin in Jesus' name,

I've been born again in Jesus' name.

And in Jesus' name I come to you

To share His love as He told me to.

All power is giv'n in Jesus' name,

In earth and heav'n in Jesus' name.

And in Jesus' name I come to you

To share His pow'r as He told me to.

He said, Freely, freely, you have received, Freely, freely give. Go in my Name, and because you believe, Others will know that I live."

Carol Owens, Freely, Freely

The bride is so secure and happy in her committed relationship with the king, that her thoughts now turn to others who have yet to experience such true love. She particularly thinks of her younger sister. She wants her to mature and for her love to be preserved for the one who will have a right to it. She wants her sister to experience total purity and reliability in marriage just as she has. The bride can speak this way, not out of anything she has done, but from the place of exaltation the king has given her. So she asks her lover, "what must we do about my sister?" The king speaks: She must be protected at all costs. Place her under lock and key if necessary! The husband is saying that her family must do all they can do to preserve her for a peaceful future. 

When Christians come to know their secure place with their king and experience the wonders of being His, it is only natural that we think of those we know who have yet to experience such love. We must do everything we can to preserve them for their future relationship with the king. We have been given great power to share the good news with them. The news that He lives and that we have so much to tell them about Him. John wrote in 3 John 1:4 that nothing gave him more joy than to realize that his "children" were living according to the truth. That's our great task. To make sure others are exposed to just how wonderful He is and to what heights He can exalt us. He has freely given us the power to do it. Press On!
