- Ruth and Boaz Marrying and Having Obed (Ruth 4:13-17):
- » Expanded Discussion: Ruth marries Boaz, and they have Obed, who becomes King David’s grandfather and part of Jesus’ lineage (Matthew 1:5). This joyful ending transforms Naomi’s bitterness (Ruth 1:20) into blessing, showing God’s long-term plan—He turns loss into hope. Obed’s birth connects Ruth’s small story to God’s big salvation story, a reminder to us that God works across generations for His glory.
- » Cross-Reference: Matthew 1:5-6 – “Boaz the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth…” God’s plan leads to Christ.
- » Prompting Questions:
- “How do you think Naomi felt when Obed was born?”
- “Why is it special that Obed’s in Jesus’ family tree?”
- “How does God turn sad times into happy ones in this story?”
- God’s redemptive timeline is central to our beliefs.
