The lover's comparison of his beloved to Tirzah and Jerusalem, considered the most beautiful cities of their time, illustrates how Christ views His Church.

This is not just an external compliment but a declaration of the deep, spiritual beauty and holiness Christ sees in His redeemed people, finding them as delightful as the grandest capitals.
