The Threshing Floor and The Kinsman Redeemer - The Amazing Story of Ruth, Ancestor of King David

All of life, serves as an illustration. God teaching us through everything we experience. Raising our children and the difficulties that come, teach us how God struggles with us as we go through stages of growth as we grow into more mature followers of Jesus. Our need for food and water illustrates our great need for God. Each 24-hour period contains a beginning and an end teaching us that whether it be our life span, or the end of the age, God will bring all things to completion. Then there is the illustration of love. Every human being has a desire to be loved and to express love. Our culture is filled with love stories. In movies and books and 100% of the time on the Hallmark Channel, it’s all about finding that one person who will love you like nobody else. The Book of Ruth is above all a love story. It is the story of Boaz and Ruth brought together by the providence of God. But this biblical love story is an illustration too. Boaz and Ruth are a picture of mankind and God. Boaz represents God, who comes to rescue Ruth out of trouble, poverty, and danger. You are Ruth.
