The book of Ruth gives us some
idea of the domestic life of Israel at the period of anarchy. Samuel might have
been the author of this book.
Ruth was the great-grand mother
of David. This book gives us the lineage of David, the ancestor of Christ. Ruth
was a Moabitess, who are the descendants of Lot. They were the people who were
worshipping many gods and goddesses. God chosed a beautiful girl from there,
led her to Bethlehem where she met Boaz. God adopts the Gentiles into Christ’s
family.
Boaz was the son of Rahab, the
prostitute in Jericho who helped Israel to capture the city. God can choose any
broken or unused vessel to bring his glory.
If you think you are not a
believer, you don’t know Jesus Christ, or you are following other gods and
goddesses, this book gives you the right encouragement to accept the true
living God. The people mentioned in this book are the ancestors of Jesus
Christ. God chosed those people and gave them the greatest blessing to be the
grand parents of the saviour, even when the chosen people where there. You
might see Christians around you. But you can be special, if you accept Christ
as your saviour and believe in him, so that God can use you to do greater
things.
Be encouraged!
