"Ruth - Advent Week 4 - Ruth 4 " Dec 23,2018

There are so many things we can glean from this chapter but what we need to look at is the way that Boaz approached what needed to be done and the excellent character of Ruth. He didn’t think of it as a WIIFM (what’s in it for me?”) He had a heart for the poor and we see that in how he responds to Ruth in chapters 2 and 3. From what we see he was a man of moral character. He was a cheerful and generous giver. He, without hesitation, entered into this contract and relationship with Ruth. The closest relative to them would not purchase the land and immediately changed his mind when he heard that Ruth was a part of the deal. Boaz was one who was selfless and kind.
