Theological Commentary: Click Here
We lose this
book on a strong note. The relationship
is restored. Forgiveness and repentance
have both been extended. Husband and
wife now look upon each other as they should.
We hear a
powerful phrase in this chapter. Love is
strong as death. There is not much in
this world more powerful than death.
Eventually, death takes us all. Interestingly,
the same is true for love.
Have you
ever been in love and tried to convince yourself that you weren’t? It doesn’t work. We cannot govern love with logic. We cannot force love to do that which it
doesn’t want. If love takes root within
us, we will feel its effects.
Love is a
powerful force in our life. When we
think about the fact that God is love, we might argue that there is no greater
force in life than love. We must be
careful with love, though. With great
power comes great responsibility.
This is why
we hear once again about the abjuration to be careful when we awaken love. Love is wonderful and powerful, but the force
of love is strong. We should take care
to awaken love only when it can be directed along a godly path. When we can, as this book has taught us,
there is no stronger connection between people.
