- Boaz Agreeing to Redeem Ruth (Ruth 4:9-10):
- » Expanded Discussion: Boaz, as kinsman-redeemer, steps up to buy Naomi’s family land and marry Ruth, securing their future. This act restores Naomi’s hope and gives Ruth a home, fulfilling God’s law for family care (Leviticus 25:25). It’s a picture of God’s plan—He doesn’t just save us from trouble but builds a legacy. Boaz’s choice shows God’s care in providing a protector, pointing to Jesus, our ultimate Redeemer, a cornerstone Christian belief.
- » Cross-Reference: Isaiah 44:24 – “I am the Lord, the Maker of all things… your Redeemer.” Boaz foreshadows Christ’s role.
