Song of Solomon

Song of Solomon 6:1 KJV
Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee.

Scofield has some interesting perspectives and insight in the passage. I completely see that the song is a pre-description of Christ and His church. In chapter five then,

The bride is consumed with her gifts and position next to the groom
Vs 1
She certainly could not be deserving of such favor with the groom, the king, but here she is.

She has had her feet washed, and cannot be bothered to go out and risk becoming soiled in the world
Vs 3
And in her disposition of self exalting;

She soon finds herself separated from the groom
Vs 6
Who has others He is also interested in.

Now
The bride finds herself in a search for her lost love
Vs 6
Note that Christ found us and saved us (justification), but then the bride begins her own search for Christ (sanctification.) And note that

Once the bride's heart was removed from the love of the gifts of salvation
Vs 9-16
to a love for the Saviour Himself

Others began to desire to seek Him too
Ch 6:1

Our rightful devotion as Christians in not in what Christianity does for us, but in Christ Himself.
