Perhaps the greatest romance in all of Scripture is found in the book of Ruth. This story of a young, bereaved Moabite woman, her widowed Jewish mother-in-law, and their journey together from poverty to redemption, has captivated Bible readers for generations. But have we really seen in the story of Ruth the wonderful, deeper, life-changing truths that lie therein? Just as God provided a “kinsman redeemer” for Ruth, He has provided One for us as well. It is the story of God’s redemptive plan for all who will place their trust in Him.
