My Kinsman Redeemer

My Kinsman Redeemer

Many studies of the book of Ruth focus solely on Ruth’s commitment to Naomi. While this is an important lesson of great love, of which we should take note, there is a much larger element to this account.

Indeed, it is not just a story about Naomi and one about Ruth. For us, it is a type and shadow of our need for a Redeemer. It is about One who makes a long-term commitment to His BELOVED.

It is about Jesus, our GOEL, our Kinsman Redeemer!

01-In a Bad Way

The book of Ruth begins with an account of Elimelech and his family leaving God’s Promised Land when a famine is rampant in that Land. And 10 years after losing her husband, Elimelech, Naomi finds herself in a desperate situation, which only gets worse as both her sons also died.

How could a family of Israelites end up in such a bad way given all the promises of goodness that God made to them? What have they done that might have limited the Lord’s hand?

Study with us to find the answers to these questions as we encounter their need for a Kinsman Redeemer.
