The Cost of Redemption

About this episode

Pastor Loren discusses the role of Boaz as a kinsman redeemer and parallels it with the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

In this episode, Pastor Loren discusses the role of Boaz as the kinsman redeemer for Ruth. Boaz follows the instructions and does the right thing, even though he is not the nearest kinsman. He gathers the elders of the city and presents the opportunity to the kinsman, who initially agrees but changes his mind when he realizes the cost. Boaz, on the other hand, accepts Ruth as his wife and raises up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. This act of redemption parallels the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. The episode concludes with the birth of Obed, the father of Jesse, and the lineage leading to David.
