Ruth - An Introduction

Tonight we begin a study of one of the most beautiful books in the Bible. It is a book full of difficulties; a book full of love between its characters; a book full of the character of God at work; and a book full of types and pictures that point us to our blessed Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The name of Ruth is mentioned only once in the New Testament (Matthew 1:5) as part of the genealogy of Jesus. I have loved this book for many years and pray that God will bless us as we study it together over the next several months.
