The theme of Song of Songs is satisfaction of satisfactions.  This book portrays the four stages in the experience of the lover of Christ and can be summarized by the following four sentences:<br \/>\n1) A lover of Christ should be one who is attracted by His love and drawn by Him in His sweetness to pursue after Him for full satisfaction.<br \/>\n2) A lover of Christ should be one who is called by Him to be delivered from the self through his oneness with the cross of Christ.<br \/>\n3) A lover of Christ should be one who is called by Him to live in ascension as the new creation of God in the resurrection of Christ.<br \/>\n4) A lover of Christ should be one who is called by Him more strongly to live within the veil through His cross after the lover&#8217;s experience of His resurrection.<\/p>\n<p>When we&#8217;re loving the Lord, we need to learn how to look away unto Jesus, look away from ourselves.<\/p>\n<div itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/AudioObject\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Song of Songs (Program #4)\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2025-05-14T06:06:29-05:00\" \/><meta itemprop=\"encodingFormat\" content=\"audio\/mpeg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Song of Songs (Program #4) - Called to be Delivered from the Self Through the Oneness with the Cross\r\n\r\nHebrews 12:2 tells us, &quot;Looking away unto Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despisin...\" \/><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"http:\/\/www.lsmradio.com\/audio\/mp3-files\/Songofsongs\/Song_04.mp3\" \/><meta itemprop=\"contentSize\" content=\"15.1\" \/><div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_5221\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lsmradio.com\/audio\/mp3-files\/Songofsongs\/Song_04.mp3\" title=\"Play\" onclick=\"return powerpress_embed_html5a('5221','http:\/\/www.lsmradio.com\/audio\/mp3-files\/Songofsongs\/Song_04.mp3');\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"https:\/\/biblestudyradio.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/powerpress\/play_audio.png\" title=\"Play\" alt=\"Play\" style=\"border:0;\" width=\"23px\" height=\"24px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lsmradio.com\/audio\/mp3-files\/Songofsongs\/Song_04.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/biblestudyradio.org\/?powerpress_pinw=6242-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lsmradio.com\/audio\/mp3-files\/Songofsongs\/Song_04.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"Song_04.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/tunein.com\/podcasts\/Religion--Spirituality-Podcas\/Bible-Study-Radio-p959109\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_tunein\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe on TuneIn\" rel=\"nofollow\">TuneIn<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/biblestudyradio.org\/?feed=podcast\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Song of Songs (Program #4) &#8211;
