There is a Redeemer

Ruth 4:1-12

Sermon Notes:

1) A name forgotten, 1-6

2) A name redeemed, 1-10

3) A name renowned, 11-12

Reflection Questions:

1) Even if you don’t understand all of the transactions and negotiations in v.1- 12, why do you think the “other redeemer” (the unnamed one) chooses not to redeem Ruth and Naomi and the property of Elimelech? See v.5. (Also see question #3.)

2) Read Proverbs 31:10-31 (and Ruth 3:10). How do you see hints of Ruth in this passage?

3) Read Ephesians 5:25-33 and 2 Cor. 8:9. How do you see hints of Boaz in each passage?
