Christ's Persistent Invitation
The repeated call, "Arise, my love... and come away," is highlighted by commentators as Christ's persistent and loving invitation. It's a call to leave behind spiritual sluggishness, sin, and worldly concerns to enter into a deeper, more intimate fellowship with Him. As John Gill notes, Christ's repetition shows His importunity—He earnestly desires our communion and will not be easily denied.
