In chapter 2 of the Book of Ruth, Ruth meets Boaz. The chapter is loaded with five scenes–all conversations between the three main characters, Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz.
Naomi and Ruth are settled in Bethlehem, but their situation is not good. They need to provide for themselves, but Naomi seems unable to help. Ruth must take matters into her own hands despite the fact that she is the unwelcome Moabite in the little Israelite town of Bethlehem. Ruth steps out in faith and providentially lands in Boaz's field, where Ruth meets Boaz for the first time.
Boaz steps up and provides for Ruth and Naomi. Conversations happen, and Boaz is intrigued. Ruth is very different from him. He is rich, she is poor. He is a native, she is a foreigner. He is older, she is younger. Yet despite their differences, Boaz sees something more important in Ruth. He sees a genuine faith in God. It attracts his attention, and suddenly, we are in a tale as old as time, with a few twists!
Ruth Advent Bonus Episodes:
The Book of Ruth is creatively a Christmas Story because the solution to the Israelite's problem, the need for a king, is announced at the end of the Book of Ruth. So, for season 8, the 4 episodes of Ruth will each have a bonus Advent episode that drops on Fridays. There is much meaning to the song O Little Town of Bethlehem and it starts here in the Book of Ruth!
Thank you for being a part of the club.
