The Lord Jesus does not force us to love him.
He gave himself for us, even death on the cross.

Yes, I totally agree with you that the Song has two purposes:
1. to depict the genuine love between married (to be)lovers.
2. Further more, to teach us to compete God’s love for us.
We cannot outlove Christ.Yet, we can compete.
God bless

THANKS FOR GLORIFYING THE BRIDEGROOM, JESUS CHRIST.
LET US LOVE AND FOLLOW HIM MORE CLOSELY.

YOU DID A GOOD JOB. LITERAL AND ALLEGORICAL APPROACH.

MEN AND WOMEN, HUSBANDS AND WIVES,
LOVE AND RESPECT.
LET US COMPETE WITH THE LOVE OF CHRIST.

AGAIN, GOD BLESS
