Scripture Text: Galatians 3:10-14
Heading Toward Pentecost
I Will Sing of My Redeemer
Galatians 3:10-14
The setting for the Book of Ruth begins in the heathen country of Moab, a region northeast of the Dead Sea, but then moves to Bethlehem.
Boaz doesn’t know it yet, but he’s about to become her kinsman-redeemer, too.
I think they also miss one of the major aspects of the story. They miss the point that she needed a redeemer.
Jesus is our Redeemer. He’s the one who paid the price to buy us back from slavery.
Because we have a Redeemer, we are forgiven. The mistakes and failures of the past have been forgiven.
