RuthSample

Some more in-depth historical background as we read this chapter of Ruth is to know what a kinsman redeemer is. In ancient Hebrew law, the next closest male relative has the opportunity to restore land/finances, protect from danger and avenge their family members. Boaz is Naomi’s kinsman redeemer because he is related to her late husband. How fortunate Ruth should stumble upon his field for gleaning…almost seems too good to be true. William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury in the 1940s, is well known for saying, 'When I pray, coincidences happen, and when I don't, they don't. ' Ponder that in your heart as you read and live out your day.

About this Plan

The story of Ruth stands as a story of redemption. Coming from tragedy and as a foreign woman, Ruth is the last person we might expect to see the goodness of God. She becomes a key figure in the story of the Bible and the great-grandmother of King David himself!
