The book of Ruth is a profound allegory illustrating redemption. To redeem means "to buy back" and "to bring back." Boaz redeemed Ruth; first he bought her back when he paid all her debts, then he established a relationship with her that brought her back into the family of God. Learn how in the same way we must decide we want Jesus to be our redeemer, to buy us back and to bring us back into the family of God.
