FINDING HIM

FINDING HIM

“It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held Him, and would not let Him go until I had brought Him into my mother’s house and into the chamber of her that conceived me”, says the bride in verse 4 of Chapter 3 in the Song of Songs, after finding the one whom her soul loves. As she has passed by the watchmen a little away, she finds the one whom her soul loves. The watchmen of the city could not find him. But she has found him. When? After she passed by the watchmen of the city, she found him. Dear bride of Christ, you will find Him on your own because of your perseverance and earnestness in searching for Christ, the Truth. You will find Him because of your intimate relationship with Him. You will find Him because of your knowledge of His marvelous Person in entirety. You will recognize and identify Him because of the odor of His ointments.

The Shulamite now holds him after finding him. You should also hold and cleave to Him once you have found Him after lapse of a long time. Don’t let Him go until you had brought Him into your mother’s house and into the chamber of her who conceived you.

Dear disciple of Christ, you have a mother’s house i.e. a spiritual home where your have fellowship with a large number of sisters and brothers in Christ. You have some spiritual elders in the mother’s house that had suffered birth pangs until Christ was completely and permanently formed within you (Gal. 4: 19). You have certain responsibilities towards this mother’s house, i.e. the spiritual elders who had spiritually begotten you. These days, due do dissention and doctrinal differences among the children of God, the mother’s house is made feeble. The false teachers and false prophets are throttling the mother’s house within. The mother’s house might have now become like ‘dry bones’ as in the vision of prophet Ezekiel. The spiritual elders, who were once mighty instruments in the hands of God or who had travailed in birth pangs for Christ to be formed in you, may not be now aglow with the power of God. As you have found the truths and sieved the same from the false doctrines, it is your responsibility to bring the Spirit of Truth into the mother’s house and into the chambers of those who spiritually conceived you. God has revealed his truths to you through certain peculiar circumstances, especially by trials and sufferings. And you have to bring the Spirit of Truth into those places darkened by such pernicious false doctrines that strike at the very foundation of the Christian faith. Dear bride of Christ, through you, the Spirit of Truth may lighten the darkness in the House of God.
