Ep. 199 The Kinsman Redeemer - Ruth 2:18-3:18
Ruth meets Boaz, but Naomi doesn’t know it. Naomi is related to Boaz, but Ruth doesn’t know it. In this passage, it comes to light that Boaz is a relative and they hatch a plan to see if he will marry Ruth. He says he will, but there’s a catch that could derail the entire proposal.
Ep. 198 The good harvest - Ruth 2:1-16
Ruth and Naomi have arrived in Israel. In an act of providence, Ruth “happens” to go into a field owned by a relative of her deceased husband. We see a man show extraordinary kindness to someone who was on the outside looking in of Israelite society. She wasn’t an Israelite and she was a poor widow. Boaz’s acceptance of Ruth points us to how we are to treat our fellow man and it points us to the gospel and the savior who redeemed a sinful world.
Ep. 197 Homecoming - Ruth 1:6-22
Naomi has lost everything and she is fired to go to Israel and hope for a better life, but the fees an uncertain future. Her daughter-in-law Ruth has also had a life of difficulties, yet we see her faithfulness and trust in the Lord. Between these two women, we see two different pictures of how a Christian can respond to difficulties. Will it be bitterness? Or will it be faith?
