The story of Ruth and Naomi is a story of needy supplicants who come with nothing. These godly women come with empty hands, hearts of faith, and find redemption through the kindness of Boaz. Boaz and Ruth, as husband and wife are Christ and the church; the husband is free to take the outsider in and cover her with his love and righteousness. In Boaz we see what we also see in Christ Jesus; he is already the son of foreign women who have been grafted into the people of God. The book of Ruth opens with empty arms and the pain of loss, and ends with redemption and arms filled with the promise of new life. The baby sounds of David's grandfather Obed now fills Naomi's heart and home. Mourning has been turned into laughter. Christian, this is your hope in Christ. Ruth went by faith to the source of real redemption. May we likewise follow her footsteps to Him.
