Special Testimony Service
N.B. As this was a special testimony service, there was only time for a very short message (around 6 minutes)
- Psalm 45:2
- A wonderful description of Jesus is Song of Solomon Chapter 5
- To see Jesus - should be the desire of our hearts
- The Song of Solomon is poetic
- Christianity is not just obedience to the word
- It is also about knowing through the senses
- It is not just about doctrine, this should lead to experience
- It should lead us to want to know more of Christ
- Example of Paul and the Psalmist
- Experience comes with spending time with God
- We should long for Christ and to know Him
- Because 'He is fairer that the sons of men, grace is poured upon His lips'
- Psalm 45:11
- That God might desire our beauty
- We feel ugly and unclean
- Yet we are robed in Christ's righteousness
- 'You have ravished my heart'
- The Song of Solomon is a pure analogy - we do not need to shirk from it
- We can be partakers of His Divine nature
- We are brought into the intimacy of marriage with Christ
- My prayer is to know Christ better
- It should be the desire of our heart to know Christ
