The words of this text were written for your benefit, dear Christian, so that you will be strong in the grace which is in Christ Jesus. The Shulamite Bride of this spiritual story, having born witness to the excellency and the glory of her Shepherd-Husband King, the daughters of Jerusalem want to know, where has He gone; where has He turned aside, so that they might seek Him also.
