“Let the king be enthralled by your beauty; honor him, for he is your Lord.” Psalms 45:11
The psalmist tells the king's potential bride to keep her beauty for the sake of the king who is the suitor. The church is often presented as the bride of Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ, looks up to His bride, the Church and expects to be enthralled by her beauty. “I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him.” 2 Cor 11:2.
