Boaz: Simple Meditation

Blessed be he of the Lord, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. Ruth.2:20.
The man in this verse is Boaz, the forefather of King David, who was the forefather of Joseph the husband of Mary who is the mother of Jesus our Lord. Boaz, very wealthy man, who is not crude, who helps, and seems from 3:12 a good keeper of the law of that time. Wasn't that all God wanted from a man to be blessed. The days we live in gives us far better experiences of the kind of people who we are with. The people who seemed so good at nature, now show their actual nature, once that home looses the key person. What worth is it of being a Godly man, if not having the nature of God ? Our Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts, ... 1Chronicles.28:9, And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, ... Acts.15:8. Blessed is the man who keeps the law of the Lord. Let us not be like people of this world, we are the heritage of the Kingdom above, Let us live to that extent. Be blessed.

In Deuteronomy.25:5-10, We can see the duty of a redeemer of that family. In case of Ruth, both her husband and her brother-in-law were dead. There was no person to act as a redeemer either for the posterity or for their land. So, Boaz a close relative Ruth.2:20, but according to law was not eligible to redeem. He steps in to redeem her by consultation and counselling with the elders Ruth.4:1, and then redeeming her through marriage. Adam, sinned against God and lost the fellowship with Him. As a sinner we have nothing to do with the Holy God. Everyone was going to be punished because of Adam' sin, Romans.5:18. Like Boaz who is not ment to redeem Ruth by law; Christ steps in, For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: Being then made free from sin..., Romans.8:3, 6:18. Like Boaz who redeemed Ruth, so also Christ redeemed   us from the bondage of sin. Let's thank God for what he has done on the Cross of Calvary for our sake. Be Blessed.
