Song 1:6 Do not look upon me, because I am dark, because the sun has tanned me...they made me the keeper of the vineyards, but my own vineyard I have not kept.
The Shulammite woman here reminds us of the Lord Jesus Christ. Just as she took all the heat of the sun for others, so the Lord Jesus Christ took all the heat of the wrath of God upon Himself for our sakes. Just as she kept other people's vineyards and neglected her own so the Lord Jesus Christ neglected His own welfare and gave Himself for our eternal keeping. He willingly became dark so that we could be light in God.
My friend, will you entrust your soul, your "vineyard," to Him for your eternal salvation?
