This month my colour theme is brown which I hope you all enjoy as I did enjoy creating this small kit.
Thoughts about Boaz taken from a book titled "Men of the Bible" by Ann Spangler and Robert Wolgemuth. I did add a little of my own thoughts.
The story of Boaz is found in the book of Ruth in the Bible.
On their first encounter in the field, Boaz prayed a blessing for Ruth. It must have surprised him later on to realise he became the answer to his prayer. For Boaz it seems, was the Lord’s reward for Ruth’s demonstrated faith in the God of Israel and for her loyalty to her mother-in-law, Naomi.
Together Ruth and Boaz were blessed by becoming the parents of Obed which led to them being the great-grandparents of King David. Both are mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ in the gospel of Matthew.
Boaz, with taking Ruth as his wife, became the kinsman redeemer of both Jew and Gentile, buying the lost inheritance of Naomi and Ruth ( a gentile): Ruth chapter 4 verse 4 and verse 8.
The life of Boaz becoming that kinsman redeemer was a glimpse into the Redeemer of our souls, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
The Book of Ruth is a favourite book in the Bible of mine because of the love story and the example of Boaz being a redeemer. I am so thankful that I personally know Jesus Christ has redeemed me.
Here is the kit I created for you all to enjoy:
