  A Skipping Saviour

  Song of Songs 2:8, "The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills."
  Here the bride depicts a skipping Saviour, leaping over the mountains and bounding over the hills! The picture may be applied to Christ's first coming to die for His people. So great was the eagerness of Jesus to save sinners that He came leaping to do so. He skipped with such excited love. He came leaping from heaven to the cross, skipping over all obstacles in between. When He comes back again for them at His second coming, His love will not have waned any, and He will manifest the same skips of eagerness to bring them to Himself.
  "Let us see him leaping; he leaped out of heaven into the virgin, out of the womb into the manger, out ofthe manger into Jordan, out of Jordan to the cross, from the cross into the tomb, out of the grave into heaven.'' (Ambrose).
