Ruth
4 – Ruth Redeemed
Boaz
planned the marriage privately but paid the price publicly. The other kinsman
was able to redeem but not willing. He was afraid of harming his own
inheritance.
Ruth
went from tears to joy. Hard labor to rest, from emptiness to fullness, from
fear to peace and assurance. And the thing that made the difference was obeying
the Word of God. When Ruth put herself at the feet of her redeemer and
entrusted herself to him, he took over and changed everything.
Ruth
started out with nothing but her faith, then she lived on leftovers, and soon
began receiving gifts. But once she belonged to Boaz, everything he owned
belonged to her.
We
have a Kinsman Redeemer, and He is able to save. He is right now at God’s right
hand, and He stood one day upon this earth. In fact, He hung one day upon a
cross that He might redeem us from sin. Today, God has highly exalted Him and
given Him a name above every name, and that someday every tongue shall confess
and every knee must bow to Him. He is able to save you!
