Main Idea. God graciously provides covering for his destitute people through a worthy redeemer.

1. A destitute woman (Ruth)

Three aspects of Ruth’s destitution:

- She is a foreigner (vv.2,6,10,21).

- She is poor (v.2).

- She is a widow (vulnerable).

2. A worthy redeemer (Boaz)

Five aspects of “why” Boaz is worthy:

- He Loves the Laborers in His Field (v.4).

- He Obeys the Law of the Lord (v.8).

- He Provides Protective Covering (vv.9,15).

- He Shows Abundant Generosity (vv.9, 14–16).

- He Is a Redeemer (v.20).

Takeaways.

We need more men like Boaz.

We need humble responses like Ruth’s (v.10).

We need to glean the fields of the Lord.

We need a Redeemer.
