Listen "Ruth: Part 7: An Offer Chad Can't Accept (Ruth 4:1-12)"
Episode Synopsis
(Message date: April 3, 2022)
The meeting at the Bethlehem gate (Ruth 4:1-12) is a scene that powerfully shows us the Gospel of Jesus. It’s a high-stakes negotiation that narrowly succeeds. Here, Boaz shows us — by contrast to the other guy: Chad — the sort of redeemer he is, and ultimately, the sort of Redeemer God is. Just as they weighed the costs and risks of redeeming Ruth and the land, God weighed the implications to redeem us, and said: “Yes”.
