Ruth 4:13-22: All's Well that Ends Well

Dr. Sean Cole concludes the sermon series in Ruth. What have we learned from this wonderful book? First, it has been regarded as the best short story in literature. Second, it is the story of God's invisible Hand of sovereignty. We’ve seen God’s invisible hand of grace orchestrate events that, at first glance, appeared to be just “coincidences” and “luck.” The storyteller uses metaphors and plays on words to capture our attention on this issue. Third, it is a story of redemption and grace. The word “redeem” or “redeemer” appears 23 times, and the keyword that is the theme of this book is “hesed”—that loyal kindness that God shows to His people and that Ruth shows to both Naomi and Boaz. Fourth, it is crucial to the history of redemption to ensure that David would be born and become Israel’s greatest king.  Ultimately, this story has its fulfillment in Christ. If there were not Ruth, there would be no Jesus! Jesus is our Redeemer and King of kings!
