Living for a Name

 

Sermon from August 9, 2020

We return to the story of Boaz and Ruth in the book of Ruth, this time in Ruth 3:14-17 and continuing in Ruth 4:1-6.

We learned last week of Boaz's intentions to be Ruth's kinsman redeemer. Like Naomi and Ruth, we live under grace. And like them, we must wait on God for him to act on our behalf.

We also see that, like Boaz, our Redeemer fulfills all qualifications and willingly pays the price for us. Jesus paid it all.
