Ruth

 


Ruth

Two widows lose everything and find hope in Israel—which leads to the birth of the future King David.

Ruth 1-4 Ruth begins in loss and ends in hope. Through Ruth’s loyalty, Boaz’s kindness, and God’s quiet providence, sorrow gives way to redemption. Naomi’s bitterness turns to joy, and from Bethlehem comes a child in David’s line, pointing to Christ. In this brief story, grace runs deep: restoring, redeeming, and working through the unlikely.
