Speaker: Jason Williams

In this sermon, we looked at how God’s story of redemption flows through the story of Naomi and Ruth to bring about His plan of redemption. Their story serves as both a figurative portrait of the redemption of Jesus and a literal part of Jesus’s lineage. As Boaz steps into the story of Naomi and Ruth to sacrificially redeem when no one else will, we see a picture of Jesus’s redemption for the church.  God used this story about the redemption of two widows to give us a picture of His redemption for us. He also used a story of what might be considered a story of ordinary people living out ordinary, hopeless lives to bring about the most newsworthy story of all time: Jesus is coming to redeem the world and save them from their sins.
