Roots: Boaz + Ruth

Some of the most beautiful natural and man-made wonders in the world amaze us because of how they stand out against their surroundings. Boaz and Ruth were like that. They remind us that when we follow the Lord, we will stand out. This is beautiful to God and to those who seek Him.

Ruth 2:12 (NLT)  [Boaz speaking to Ruth] “May the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge, reward you fully for what you have done.”  

Ruth 3:9 (NLT)  “Who are you?” [Boaz] asked. “I am your servant Ruth,” she replied. “Spread the corner of your covering over me, for you are my family redeemer.”

BIG IDEA: Faithful disciples of Christ are a beautiful contrast in a fallen world.
