The Book of Ruth not only tells a beautiful love story but also highlights the themes of loyalty, faithfulness, and the providence of God. It demonstrates how God works through ordinary people, even in the midst of difficult circumstances, to accomplish His purposes and bring about redemption.

 

Ultimately, the story of Ruth points forward to Jesus Christ, our ultimate Redeemer, who offers redemption, grace, and restoration to all who trust in Him. In today’s top ten, we identify ten glimpses of Jesus in the Book of Ruth.

 

We also share an original poem, entitled, “Beneath the Harvest Moon,” that summarizes the love story of Ruth and her kinsman-redeemer, Boaz.
