Description
The book of Ruth takes place during the period of the judges, when “every man did what was right in his own eyes,” a time of godlessness and much violence. And yet, the town of Bethlehem is an island of grace. The violence in the rest of the world is absent. The residents care for one another and seek God’s blessings for each other. Kindness prevails.
But this is more than a story of kindness and everyday grace. It is also about saving grace—redemption. Here is a picture of the redeeming work of Jesus Christ for all of his people. And in that picture are Ruth and Boaz, ancestors of David, the ancestor of the Messiah. In this present age, drinking deeply from Ruth will be a balm for your soul.
