Morning Light – April 24th, 2015: Redeemed at the Gate!

Morning Light – April 24th, 2015
Today: [Ruth Chapter Four]: Redeemed at the Gate! In this chapter Boaz convenes a court at the gates of the city to arrange for his marriage to Ruth. There is another person who has a closer claim upon Ruth. However this person who was willing to increase himself by her inheritance was not willing to mar his legacy with her Moabite blood. Boaz however publically accepts Ruth and bears the reproach of her birth to win her as a bride to himself just as Jesus accepts our reproach for the joy of sharing a bridegroom/bride relationship with us.

  • I always wondered why the 1st guy didn’t want her. I was also literally led to this chapter of the story a few days ago by the Holy Spirit. Thank you now I understand.
