lov eth the stronger in riving him food and raiment love ye there fore the stranger for ye were strangers in the land of egypt deut 1018 19 the lesson as a whole approach to the lesson the holy spirit who directed the composition of the beautiful story of ruth desired that peo ple through the centuries should read the record for several rea sons first the little book reveals that even in the anarchistic period of israels judges there was a remnant of genuine faith in the land represented by boaz even in the midst of idolatry and confusion when every man did that which was right in his own eyes judges 21 25 god had his own peo ple who had not bowed the knee to false gods second ruth narrates a love ly romance which can well chal lenge the hearts of young peo ple contemplating marriage bo az was a man of nobility integ rity and generosity ruth was a lovely young woman pure upright and devoted the story is one of dignity and charm understand the customs of the day especially deut 255 6 and you will see that both ruth and boaz acted with discretion third the book informs us concerning the genealogy of king david from whom mary the mother of our lord was descended ruth 421 22 luke 331 32 fourth and this is a truth upon which one might dwell at length the romance of boaz and ruth is an interesting illus tration of the relationship be tween christ and his bride the true church study the parallel carefully and your soul will be richly blessed verse by verse ruth 119 they two went to bethlehem when they were come all the city was moved about them and they said is this naomi the distance from moab to bethle- ham five miles south of jeru salem was about 50 miles the city was stirred because the family of the influential elime- lech was well known the ques tion asked by the women resi dents said as heie used is feminine was due to their sor rowing surprise at naomis con dition her appearance altered by years of grief had changed but more there was a shock ing contrast between her happy condition when she and her loved ones had left bethlehem years before and her present loneliness she was now a be reaved widow verse 20 she said call me not naomi call me mara the almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me naomi means gracious or pleasant mara means bitter the womans total outlook on life had changed the loveliness of her life had been replaced by bitterness she attributed her deep sorrow to the hand of god laid heavily upon her almighty is shaddai in hebrew exodus 63 the one in control of life and destiny verse 21 i went out full the lord hath brought me home again empty the lord hath testified against me and the almighty hath afflicted me naomi had left bethlehem full ie with a husband and two sons her husband elime- lech may have taken many of their possessions with them when escaping the famine in bethlehem the lord testified against naomi he had seemed to witness against her as guilty and then penalized afflicted her for her sins verse 22 naomi returned and ruth the moabitess her daughter in law out of the country of moab they came to bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest bethlehem house of bread is later known as the city of david moab lies to the east beyond jordan we are repeatedly told that ruth was a foreigner the begin ning of barley harvest was early in april gods will is seen in the time of year the women arrived ie when it would be possible for ruth to 74 back from sorrow to joy from the stigma of childlessness to the blessedness of a family from the frustration of lonely old age to the assurance of con tinuing family love care and provision and above all to a confidence that the family line interrupted by death wesdd now continue verse 15 he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life a nourisher of thine old age thy daughterinlaw which loveth thee is better to thee than seven sons the birth of the boy would bring a pres ent revival of joy and peace as well as a hope for the future seven suggests a large num ber note the renewed emphasis upon ruths unfailing love lor naomi verse 16 naomi took the child and laid it in her bosom and became nurse unto it as grandmother she lovingly ac knowledged that the child be longed to her this is one of the most tender scenes in the bible naomi is as it were in corporating the child unto her self while ruth totally unself ish gives her loving and hearty approval verse 17 the women her neighbours gave it a name obed he is the father of jesse the father of david ruth the beautiful heroine of the story became the divine instrument in carrying forward the juavidic line of which the lord jesus would ultimately be bom o- bed servant or worshipper im plies that the little child would some day minister to the needs of his adoring grandmother note that the neighbors not boaz chose the name this in dicates boazs cheerful acquies cence and the friendliness of the neighbors the heart of the lesson as long as we recognize the fact that the story of ruth is actual history it is quite legiti mate to see in it an instructive illustration of christs loverela tionship to his bride the church boaz was a highly respected citizen of bethlehem a man of wealth strength and influ ence he was yet kind and con siderate in the spiritual par allel we are now drawing he represents christ the mighty yet gracious son of god ruth was a gentile from be yond the jordan to the east so far as the blessings prom ised by god to the jews were concerned she was a gentile a boabitess an alien from the commonwealth of israel more over she was in great need she had lost her husband father-in- law and brotherinlaw her vis ible means of support were gone she was in desperate straits so it is with people be fore they are introduced to the saviour they are separated from god helpless and hope less but the lord dealt gently with ruth her love and loyalty to her motherinlaw were strong and tender she clung to naomi devotedly and as a result she finally met naomis husbands kinsman boaz naomi was thus the human instrument in bring ing ruth to the place of redemp tion thank god for faithful witnesses today whose winsome- ness and love draw people to the lord boaz became ruths kinsman- redeemer when the closer rela tive was unable or unwilling to purchase the property which had belonged to elimelech and as part of the legal transaction to marry ruth boaz stepped in bought back redeemed the heritage and entered into a mar riage contract with ruth the lord jesus has thus redeemed his people he became our kinsman when he sumed human flesh he bought his own back from the hopelessness and burden of sin and death the redemption price was his pre cious blood 1 peter 118 19 his redeemed are now kis holy bride 2 cor 112 eph 52527 awaiting the reappearance of her heavenly bridegroom the fruit of the union be tween boaz and ruth was obed grandfather of david and thus a source of blessing to israel the fruit of our spiritual un ion with christ paul
