“So Boaz Took Ruth”

by Alistair Begg

Ruth 4:1–13
 (ID: 2263)

After Ruth approached Boaz as her kinsman-redeemer, this noble man hoped to marry her. He also wanted to fulfill his duties to his family. What did Boaz, a man of honor and position, do next? As Alistair Begg considers, Boaz demonstrated that he valued righteousness over emotion. While Naomi encouraged Ruth to wait patiently, Boaz took quick action to follow Jewish law and show public respect for the community.
