Ruth 3: A Proposal & A Problem
Manage episode 290481175 series 2828322
Welcome back to week 3 of our study of Ruth! There are so many take-aways in this one! Many read this chapter and see scandalous behavior, but let's take a look at it through the lens of 1100ish BC Israelite customs. In Ruth 3, we see real relationship growth between Boaz and Ruth. She trusts him, and he values her, and I love that we're watching how they come to be. But I also love getting an inside look into the depth of love between Naomi and Ruth. Naomi not only helps Ruth get the man, but she also helps comfort her while they have to wait on the "problem" of this story to be resolved. All the while, Ruth and Boaz both continue to demonstrate just how important it is to be a person of great character.
