RUTH
1:1-2:23 - Ruth meets Boaz.
It seemed like a ‘chance’ meeting - ‘she happened to come... ‘ (2:3).
It was more than that.
God was at work.
Ruth had committed herself to the Lord (1:16-17).
She was being guided by the Lord (Psalm 37:3-5; Proverbs 3:5-6).
Ruth was unassuming and grateful, hard-working and responsible (2:10,13,7,18).
She is a fine example of the ‘good wife’, described in Proverbs 31:10-31.
In Boaz, she found a good man - godly, generous and sensitive (2:12,14,16).
We read about Ruth.
We learn about Jesus Christ.
When you come to Him, He says, ‘Do not go to glean in another field... ‘ - ‘There is salvation in no one else’ (2:8; Acts 4:12).
In Him, there is amazing grace.
He loves us.
He looks upon us favourably.
He takes notice of us.
He died for us (2:10; Romans 5:8).
Let us follow Him (1:16-17; John 6:67-69).
3:1-4:22 - Ruth was covered by the ‘garment’ of Boaz, her ‘kinsman-redeemer’ (3:9).
Jesus is our Kinsman-Redeemer.
He has become one of us.
He shares our ‘flesh and blood’, our ‘humanity’.
Through His ‘suffering’ and ‘death’, we are brought to ‘glory’ (Hebrews 2:10-11,14-15).
In Him, we ‘rejoice’: ‘He has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness’ (Isaiah 61:10).
‘Our righteous acts are like filthy rags’.
Bring your ‘robes’ to Christ and let them be ‘washed’, ‘made white in the blood of the Lamb’ (Isaiah 64:6; Revelation 7:14).
A ‘Moabitess’, Ruth was brought into the house of Israel (4:10-11).
In Christ, Jew and Gentile become one (Ephesians 2:11-18).
Ruth played her part in leading us to Christ (4:13-17; Matthew 1:1,5-6).
May God help us to lead people to Christ.
