The book of Ruth is a story of redemption. God provided redemption to Naomi, Ruth, Boaz and God’s people through the story of Naomi and Ruth. Ultimately redemption came through Ruth’s only named son: Obed, who would become King David’s grandfather and part of Jesus’s ancestry.

In this conversation, we're on lesson 5 and joined by my mother Sherri and good friend Marta. We'll talk about Boaz and his commitment to and respect for Ruth. We also discuss the importance of having positive influences that can help us in those waiting times, following a similar pathway of Naomi and Ruth. Later on, we'll talk about our own families and how they've passed on various things to us - whether that be physical or spiritual.

Boaz is generously committed in his love for Ruth. Though the widow’s nearest of kin lives in anonymity, Boaz is remembered well in the pages of Hebrew history. Yet Boaz’s redeeming love for Ruth is just a shadow of the greatest love known to humankind. Jesus, our Great Redeemer, made himself a kinsman by willingly leaving the splendor of His glory and becoming flesh. When there was no intercessor to be found who could pay our sin debt, He took upon Himself the whole debt. Becoming a curse for us, He died a sinner’s death and arose in victory releasing us from all death and sin curse. And it was all for love’s sake.
