Divine Presence

His right hand doth embrace me.

Song of Solomon 2:6

"He who has seen me," Jesus said, "has seen the Father" (John 14:9). The Word of God was always present beyond time. in the incarnation, he became present in time. He enfolds us, therefore, both within the temporal sphere and beyond it, at one and the same time. As the bride in the Song of Solomon said, "His left hand is under my head and his right hand ready to embrace me" (Song of Sol. 2:6). His left hand signifies the dimension of time and his right had the dimension of eternity. With the two arms of his human and divine natures, he enfolds us in the mystery of the incarnation in an incredibly strong embrace.

Song of Solomon 2:6

His left hand is under my head,

and his right hand doth embrace me.
