Ruth | Week 3 | Chris Emmitt

In the book of Ruth, we witness a beautiful portrayal of redemption through the lives of Ruth and Boaz. Boaz, as Ruth's kinsman redeemer, serves as a poignant reminder of Jesus Christ, our ultimate redeemer. Let's reflect on three key aspects of redemption:

Acknowledge the Need for a Redeemer

Ruth, facing uncertainty and desperation, recognizes her need for a redeemer. Just as Ruth sought protection and provision, we, too, must acknowledge our need for a Savior.

Approach the Feet of the Redeemer with Humility

Ruth's approach to Boaz exemplifies humility and trust. Similarly, we must approach God with humility, recognizing His sovereignty and our dependence on His grace.

Accept the Redemption of the Redeemer

Boaz's unwavering commitment to redeem Ruth mirrors our assurance of salvation in Jesus Christ. Just as Ruth placed her trust in Boaz's promise, we, too, must trust in Jesus's redemptive work on the cross. (Salvation is not a result of our own efforts but a gift to be received through faith.)
