Christ, the Church, and Israel Typed in Ruth

The Book of Ruth:

Naomi – Israel

Ruth – The Church

Boaz – Jesus Christ

unnamed servant (v.v. 2:5-6) – the Holy Spirit

Nearer Kinsman – the Law

 

Boaz and Naomi never meet

Naomi learns of Boaz through Ruth

Ruth learns of Boaz’s ways through Naomi

An unnamed servant introduces Ruth to Boaz

Boaz had to wait for Ruth to make the 1st move

Naomi had to be exiled from her land to bring Ruth to Boaz

Boaz, not Ruth, confronts the Nearer Kinsman

Ruth does not replace Naomi

The Law had to step aside opening the way for the redemption.

What the Law couldn’t do Grace could.

Ruth is read at Pentecost
