Pastor Stan Preached on:

Ruth 1:16-2:20

This is about a love story between Ruth and Boaz and it’s a foreshadowing of the Greatest Love story every told which is the Father’s love for you and me.

There is a pile of symbolism here, wow!
-he makes sure she is protected and the guys don’t touch her
-he ensures she is provided for and allowed to take water and food
-he goes to bat to the kinsmen redeemer in front of him and negotiates for her.
-continual kindness shown is a reflection of Jehovah’s love for us!

Out of this love story comes King David and there is many similarities also to Joseph & Mary with the birth of Jesus.

Just like Ruth & Boaz and Mary and Joseph God has the same love story with you and with me. He will do anything for you as He loves you so much. He not only sent His Son for you but even had him killed so that we could be with Him.

How great is the love of the Father! We love Him because He first loved us. Love is that one man would lay down his life for another. He loves you so much! There is a better way to live through Jesus. He died for you and for me! The only hope that we have is through Christ.

Men: are you leading your households? Are you romancing your wife?
