Jesus in Ruth

Damascus Road Community Church

The book of Ruth is a pretty wild story… A young woman with her whole life in front of her, leaves everything familiar and goes to a place she's never been, with her mother-in-law no less. (anyone?) The story includes famine… loss of loved ones… unexpected kindness of strangers… a dramatic rescue… and a surprise ending… and Jesus has His fingerprints all over the story!

Here is my challenge… would you read the 85 verses of Ruth before Sunday? Count the number of times the word ‘redeemer’ shows up… find the word ‘rest’ and spend some time asking God what is being said when that word shows up.
