Meanwhile Boaz Went

This week we close our series on the book of Ruth by looking at ground zero for God’s redemptive work - a space we often overlook called ‘Meanwhile’.

How God Restores

In Ruth 3, contrasting the "first kindness" of temporal blessings (food, land, comfort) with the "last kindness," which is greater because it brings life and purpose found only in Jesus, the ultimate Redeemer. It challenges us to recognise that Jesus is the plan and requires the faith to risk our good lives if those blessings obstruct the pursuit of God's eternal purposes.

Redemption

Redemption in Ruth chapter 2 begins as Ruth humbly steps into God’s provision with faith, Boaz responds with kindness and generosity, and Naomi awakens to hope, each choosing to trust God’s redemptive plan, setting in motion a legacy of restoration.
