Field Of Gleans (Ruth 2:8-23)

“Boaz was not just doing charity toward Ruth for a write off. He wasn’t just tossing a few coins because people were watching. He shows her real kindness and welcome here. Yes, she needed some grain for tomorrow, but he recognized that she would be hungry now. And so he brings her over and shares a meal with her. In fact, he served her the roasted grain himself!

This is remarkable. Not only has he elevated her from the status of beggar to being with the harvesters, remember that he’s the boss. He’s the CEO. But here he is, serving a destitute Moabite.

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the King of kings and Lord of lords did not come to be served, but to serve and to give His life as a ransom for you. He is the God Who washes feet. He is the God Who walks with you. He is the God Who poured out His blood so you could be saved. He is not afraid of your past. He loves you and reaches out to you, even now, to give you life everlasting.”
