A Biblical Love Story (part four)



Just how unique was this love story between Ruth and Boaz?

Well, if you have been a part of Sunday School, or Bible Studies for long, you probably know the answer to that question. However, you are about to read it as it was first given in the Bible and retold at: The unique Love story of Ruth & Boaz - Good News of the Gospel Way

   :

Legacy of Ruth & Boaz

In their union they had a child, Obed, who in turn became the grandfather of King David.  David was promised that ‘a Christ’ would come from his family.   Further prophecies were given and finally Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem, the same town that Ruth and Boaz had met in long before.  Their romance, marriage and family line resulted in offspring that today is the basis for our modern calendar, and global holidays like Christmas & Easter – not bad for a romance in a dusty village over 3000 years ago.

Of course, this story though remarkable, was not the only love story that is recorded in the Bible. If you think about it, first we find Adam and Eve and how they came to be on this earth. Then there was how Isaac found his wife Rebekah, and then think of the story of Abram and Sari, and what they had gone through in their own marriage.

Situations in humanity that brought people together albeit sometimes their own sin. Which, of course has carried on with many a couple from the beginning of time. But I digress....

I think that David and Bathsheba and Mary and Joseph were among the most unique along with Ruth and Boaz, and that is because they all had a more direct part in the lineage of Jesus Christ. 

These people had produced dependents that would lead to his birth. God had greatly used them all to bring his promise of a Savior to die for man that we could be redeemed from sin and death. Talk about love stories!

And for that we can shout:

 How Great is our God!

There is more to be said about the story of Ruth and Boaz. Join me next time for we can find its truths in our own stories of love and marriage.

Thanks for coming by and may God's richest blessings pour over you today!
