“So,
Boaz too Ruth for his wife; and when he went in to her, the Lord gave her conception,
and she bore a son.” Ruth 4:13
Paul says that in Christ all the
promises of God are yea and amen. Boaz, Christ’s ancestor, takes Ruth as his bride
and begins a family with her. She who had been barren is now fully blest with a
son. Naomi, who had lived in such disappointment and despair, now rejoices with
Ruth and the other ladies of the village who congratulate her as well as Ruth. Happy
ending? You bet!
Jesus said in John 16 that in this
world we would have tribulation, but to be of good cheer for He had overcome
the world. Paul said, “For me to live is Christ, to die is gain.” That is a
good forward thinking view. It can only come from Christ who has fully overcome
sin and death. Boaz the wonderful prefiguring of our Savior, has loved Ruth and
now fulfilled his promises to her. She will not ever find herself alone in this
world. Jesus loves us so much. We can’t forget that.
Dear Father, Help me rejoice in the
love of Christ. Amen
