Ruth

Ruth is the story of a little foreign girl who came out of paganism and idolatry from the land of Moab. She came from a people who were in many senses an outcast people.
But she can to know the Lord God of Israel.

Ruth has 4 small chapters but it gives us the genealogy that leads to the Lord Jesus Christ and explains His coming from the line of David.
But I believe that the reason for Ruth is to present to us the important phase
Redemption. Redemption is only possible through a Kinsman-Redeemer. Since only God can redeem, it was important, no necessary for Him to become that person.
This little book of Ruth comes down to our level and tells the commonplace story of a couple who love each other. They were ordinary folks and their love story is a mirror in which we can see the divine love of a Savior for you and me.

Before we meet next Monday night, read the book of Ruth.
And for fun dig and find out what the names of the people mean in the first chapter.
It is interesting to see.
