By night on my bed, I sought him whom I so loveth. I sought him, but I found him not.
I will rise now and go about the city and the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him
whom I so loveth. I sought him, but I found him not."
Now, when it comes to some of these stories in Song of Solomon,
you can wonder, is this a dream? Is it being metaphorical?
Regardless, it still teaches us something.
Her husband's not there at night, and she's like, I miss my husband.
Now, the symbolism is fascinating because she cannot find her husband.
Solomon represents the Lord Jesus Christ in the Song of Solomon,
and in the broad ways, she's seeking for her husband.
She can't find him.
What happens? The watchmen of the city find her and then point her to her husband.
Just like nobody gets saved on their own, they simply go down the broad way,
a soul winner came to you, gave you the gospel, and then boom, you found Jesus.
Isn't that true?
Everybody got saved because somebody gave them the gospel.
You are all of us.
I was headed down the broad way that leadeth to destruction
until a soul winner came and gave me the gospel.
