Purpose: to show how three people remained strong in character and try to God, even when no else in the their culture was
Key people: Naomi, Ruth, Boaz
Where is Jesus? ….genealogy
Ruth 1:16-17
16 But Ruth replied, “Don’t ask me to leave you and turn back. Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God. 17 Wherever you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May theLord punish me severely if I allow anything but death to separate us!”
Through her sacrificial loyalty/love for Naomi she was able to make this happen
What I love about this story is that we see God working even though he isn’t directly mentioned throughout it.
We can also find Jesus in Ruth’s willingness to follow
Jesus was willing to follow God and his instructions past his death on the cross
Jesus also had 12 disciples who were willing to follow him even when society thought Jesus was crazy
What can we take from this?
God has a bigger plan in every tragedy.
