Ruth: A Redeemer Who Fills All Emptiness | Video DevotionalSample

Prepare Your Heart

Welcome to Ruth: A Redeemer Who Fills All Emptiness. Before you journey through the book of Ruth, watch the short overview video below. The book of Ruth is a story about Ruth and Naomi, but even more importantly it's a story about God's loyal love for his people. Ruth was written when there was no king in Israel, during the evil and chaotic time of the Judges. But in the middle of the chaos, God provides not only food and family for a destitute widow, but a king and a hope for a nation on the brink.

Reflect

Next, we invite you to read a central part of the book of Ruth. Ruth 4:13-22 shows us that God turns emptiness into fullness by faithfully providing a Redeemer who secures both personal restoration and a lasting royal legacy. This passage traces the surprising birth of Obed and connects Ruth’s sacrificial loyalty to the birth of King David, pointing us to Jesus—the ultimate Redeemer who reigns forever to fill all our emptiness.
