What does the Bible say about leaning on Jesus?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible describes leaning on Jesus as a picture of dependence and intimacy in the relationship between Christ and His Church.

The act of leaning on Jesus, as illustrated in Song of Solomon 8:5, signifies the dependence of the believer on Christ. It embodies the intimate relationship whereby the Church, represented as the Bride, finds comfort and strength in her Beloved. The Church recognizes her condition as frail and weak, necessitating reliance on Jesus, who is portrayed as a faithful husband and the source of all sustenance and love for His people.
Scripture References: Song of Solomon 8:5, John 13:23, Isaiah 40:11, Song of Solomon 2:16
