8/22/2020 Seventh Day Baptist Edgewater Pastor Keith “Book of Ruth part 3” Ruth 3:1-18

 

The story of Ruth continues with her being a widow but she is to marry Boaz. This is the same as when we are trying to get back with God. Naomi told Ruth to do four things to accomplish her mission:

1)      Wash Yourself:

Ruth had to wash herself. We, the sinner, must be washed by the blood of Jesus before we can go to God.

2)      Anoint Yourself:

Ruth must refresh/prepare herself with perfume. We must let the Holy Spirit of God refresh and instruct us. As we grow in our Faith, we will be anointed by God.

3)      Put On Your Best Garment:

Ruth had to change out of old work clothes and put on her best dress. We, Christians, put on the righteousness of Jesus. We clothe ourselves in Jesus and His Salvation. We, Christians, put on Jesus Christ.

4)      Go To The Threshing Floor:

Ruth has to go to the threshing floor to get Boaz. We need to go to receive Jesus. We have to actively claim Jesus. We must have an active Faith that claims Jesus and not one that’s just standing on the sidelines.  Approach Jesus with a humble heart.

Ruth did all this to get Boaz. She told him to take her under his wings and marry her. Ruth was proposing marriage to Boaz because the widow had to take the initiative herself and propose marriage to her dead husband’s next of kin. Boaz accepts the proposal as the relative to marry her. He already knew he was not the closet relative but he tells her he will take care of things. Boaz gives her food to take to Naomi. When Ruth gets home, Naomi tells her to sit still and wait for Boaz.

This is the same story as when a sinner comes to Jesus Christ. Jesus has already paid the penalty for our sins and we can rest because He has worked it out. Jesus had paid it all so we just need to claim Jesus as our Savior.

AMEN
