Ravished with Us

Last week, we saw how we who belong to Christ by faith were brought up out of wilderness of this world, as it were, to be His wife. Today that picture seems to go on, with Christ doing what grooms often did in those days at their wedding—they would praise their bride for her beauty as they prepared to consummate their marriage. Such a praise poem was called a wasf. So today, we are able to see through this allegory what Christ thinks of us (if we are His).
