Ruth Part 9: New Life (The Redeemer And The Servant) (Ruth 4:11-16, Psalm 113:7-8)

Like so many before and after her, Ruth had experienced relational pain. Her first husband had died, and they had not had children. In rescuing and redeeming her, God brought not only a husband, but broke the barrenness over her life as well. She was able to have a child! God brings fruitfulness and new life to us today as well, breaking barrenness through Jesus our Redeemer. Wonderfully, the way Jesus redeems us leads to the reconciling of peoples, blessing of nations, and the release of God's promise into new generations. Like Ruth, Boaz, and Naomi, our stories are joined with God's Big Story to bring redemption to the most far-reaching fields we could imagine.
