This lesson examines many of these lessons and then focusses on the concept of redemption. Boaz “the kinsman redeemer” is a fitting “type” of Christ. Ruth, a Gentile believer redeemed by Boaz, is a fitting “type” of the church.

Three widows in a foreign land and little hope, but there was hope. In the book of Ruth, those under the curse of the law died, namely Naomi’s husband and sons. Ruth, apart from the law has the circumcised heart. Jew and Gentile alike blessed and saved as ‘God visits His people’ at Bethlehem. In a surprise twist at the end, Naomi’s redeemer was a baby of Bethlehem (pointing to a greater redeemer).
The Truth of Ruth includes some of the many pictures of redemption found in Ruth
Some images include:
- death under the law (of Naomi's husband and sons)
- salvation apart from the law
- a cirumcised heart of a gentile, Ruth
- God visiting his people at Bethlehem
- a prodigal return to God and acceptance of Naomi
- a kinsman redeemer in Boaz
- from no home to a home
- from barren to a great posterity
- a greater redemption in the baby of Ruth, Obed ( the servant a name used of the coming Messiah)
- great grandmother of King David
- and in the line of the Messiah, Jesus
It can be very hard to share your faith in Christ with your family. Even Jesus' own brother, James took a long time before believing Jesus was the son of God.
Have you ever considered those who witnessed the trial and crucifixion of Christ? In this series we will discuss twelve different witnesses and how we identify with each one. This lesson covers Pilate, Barabbas, Simon of Cyrene, and the women who mourned over Jesus.
