Surprise of the Day

The book of Hosea is the complete opposite of the Song of Solomon.

Hosea  –  Song of Solomon  –  Ephesians 5:22 to end  –  Revelation 21:2  –  Revelation 22:17 & 20

Fact of the Day

• The Song of Solomon is about a bride and groom and their unquenchable love for each other, always longing to be together. IT IS ALSO ABOUT JESUS and the sacrificial time and attention he gives HIS BRIDE, THE CHURCH to rescue us.
• The book of Hosea is about the prophet who rescues and marries a prostitute and her ingratitude by always running back to former lovers.  IT IS ALSO ABOUT ADULTEROUS CHRISTIANS and the selfish time and attention they give their former LOVES – their worldly interests – instead of their husband, their Savior.
• In both instances, they help us today understand how we fill our God’s heart with joy and grief.
