00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.940
 All right, morning, church. Today's reading comes from Ruth chapter 4.

00:00:04.459 --> 00:00:07.839
 Feel free to follow along in your Bibles, bulletin, or the screen behind me.

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:10.620
 Starting in verse 1, we read,

00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:15.060
 Now Boaz had gone up to the gates and sat down there.

00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:19.640
 Behold, the Redeemer, of whom Boaz had spoken, came by.

00:00:20.660 --> 00:00:24.160
 So Boaz said, Turn aside, friend, sit down here.

00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:26.160
 And he turned aside and sat down.

00:00:26.980 --> 00:00:29.699
 And he took ten men of the elders of the city and said,

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:30.859
 Sit down here.

00:00:31.379 --> 00:00:32.560
 So they sat down.

00:00:33.299 --> 00:00:34.619
 Then he said to the Redeemer,

00:00:35.340 --> 00:00:37.920
 Naomi, who has come back from the country of Moab,

00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:41.960
 is selling the parcel of land that belonged to our relative El-O-Metlech.

00:00:42.519 --> 00:00:44.299
 So I thought I would tell you of it and say,

00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:47.240
 Buy it in the presence of those sitting here

00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:49.480
 and in the presence of the elders of my people.

00:00:50.299 --> 00:00:52.280
 If you will redeem it, redeem it.

00:00:52.879 --> 00:00:55.379
 But if you will not, tell me that I may know,

00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:58.019
 for there is no one besides you to redeem it,

00:00:58.400 --> 00:00:59.640
 and I come after you.

00:01:00.740 --> 00:01:02.939
 And he said, I will redeem it.

00:01:03.740 --> 00:01:04.859
 Then Boaz said,

00:01:05.540 --> 00:01:07.959
 The day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi,

00:01:08.260 --> 00:01:10.260
 you also acquire Ruth the Moabite,

00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:11.599
 the widow of the dead,

00:01:12.219 --> 00:01:15.540
 in order to perpetuate the name of the dead in his inheritance.

00:01:16.659 --> 00:01:17.840
 Then the Redeemer said,

00:01:18.379 --> 00:01:20.299
 I cannot redeem it for myself,

00:01:21.240 --> 00:01:23.019
 lest I impair my own inheritance.

00:01:23.019 --> 00:01:25.959
 Take my right of redemption yourself,

00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:27.699
 for I cannot redeem it.

00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:31.560
 Now this was the custom in former times in Israel

00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:33.259
 concerning redeeming and exchanging.

00:01:33.819 --> 00:01:35.259
 To confirm a transaction,

00:01:35.899 --> 00:01:38.119
 the one drew off his sandal and gave it to the other.

00:01:38.759 --> 00:01:40.879
 And this was the manner of attesting in Israel.

00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:43.560
 So when the Redeemer said to Boaz,

00:01:43.819 --> 00:01:45.079
 Buy it for yourself,

00:01:45.579 --> 00:01:46.699
 he drew off his sandal.

00:01:47.739 --> 00:01:49.879
 Then Boaz said to the elders and all the people,

00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:52.739
 You are witnesses this day,

00:01:52.739 --> 00:01:55.159
 that I have bought from the hand of Naomi

00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.039
 all that belonged to Elimelech

00:01:57.039 --> 00:01:59.879
 and all that belonged to Kilion and to Malon.

00:02:00.819 --> 00:02:02.280
 Also Ruth the Moabite,

00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:03.560
 the widow of Malon,

00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:05.199
 I have bought to be my wife,

00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:08.300
 to perpetuate the name of the dead in his inheritance,

00:02:09.099 --> 00:02:11.300
 that the name of the dead may not be cut off

00:02:11.300 --> 00:02:12.359
 from among his brothers

00:02:12.359 --> 00:02:15.319
 and from the gates of his native place.

00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:17.620
 You are witnesses this day.

00:02:19.139 --> 00:02:20.819
 Then all the people who are at the gates

00:02:20.819 --> 00:02:21.719
 and the elders said,

00:02:22.180 --> 00:02:22.939
 We are witnesses.

00:02:23.699 --> 00:02:25.079
 May the Lord make the women

00:02:25.079 --> 00:02:26.459
 who is coming into your house

00:02:26.459 --> 00:02:27.939
 like Rachel and Leah,

00:02:28.459 --> 00:02:30.379
 who together built up the house of Israel.

00:02:31.079 --> 00:02:33.159
 May you act worthily in Ephrathah

00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:34.959
 and be renowned in Bethlehem.

00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:37.560
 May your house be like the house of Perez,

00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:39.500
 whom Tamar bore to Judah

00:02:39.500 --> 00:02:40.859
 because of the offspring

00:02:40.859 --> 00:02:42.879
 that the Lord will give you by this young woman.

00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.699
 So Boaz took Ruth

00:02:46.699 --> 00:02:48.139
 and she became his wife.

00:02:48.780 --> 00:02:50.319
 And he went into her

00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:51.719
 and the Lord gave her conception

00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:53.079
 and she bore a son.

00:02:54.139 --> 00:02:55.379
 Then the woman said to Naomi,

00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:57.180
 Blessed be the Lord

00:02:57.180 --> 00:02:59.359
 who has not left you this day

00:02:59.359 --> 00:03:00.379
 without a redeemer.

00:03:01.099 --> 00:03:03.180
 And may his name be renowned in Israel.

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:06.780
 He shall be to you a restorer of life

00:03:06.780 --> 00:03:08.900
 and a nourisher of your old age

00:03:08.900 --> 00:03:11.060
 for your daughter-in-law who loves you,

00:03:11.060 --> 00:03:13.360
 who is more to you than seven sons,

00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:14.879
 has given birth to him.

00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:17.340
 Then Naomi took the child,

00:03:17.939 --> 00:03:18.939
 laid him on her lap,

00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:20.060
 and became his nurse.

00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:22.020
 And the women of the neighborhood

00:03:22.020 --> 00:03:23.379
 gave him a name saying,

00:03:23.780 --> 00:03:25.460
 A son has been born to Naomi.

00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:27.340
 They named him Obed.

00:03:28.060 --> 00:03:29.439
 He was the father of Jesse,

00:03:29.939 --> 00:03:30.879
 the father of David.

00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:34.000
 Now these are the generations of Perez.

00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:35.879
 Perez fathered Hezron.

00:03:36.460 --> 00:03:37.639
 Hezron fathered Ram.

00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:39.780
 Ram fathered Aminadab.

00:03:40.180 --> 00:03:41.859
 Aminadab fathered Nashon.

00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:43.900
 Nashon fathered Salmon.

00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:45.780
 Salmon fathered Boaz.

00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:47.560
 Boaz fathered Obed.

00:03:48.079 --> 00:03:49.240
 Obed fathered Jesse.

00:03:49.780 --> 00:03:50.879
 And Jesse fathered David.

00:03:51.180 --> 00:03:52.079
 This is the word of God.

00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:55.600
 Thank you, Jaya.

00:03:57.300 --> 00:04:01.140
 Good morning on this crisp marathon morning.

00:04:02.140 --> 00:04:05.360
 Good morning to five people.

00:04:06.660 --> 00:04:07.780
 In honor of the marathon,

00:04:08.040 --> 00:04:09.560
 we're going to have a marathon sermon.

00:04:09.780 --> 00:04:12.480
 So we'll end around 4 or 5 p.m.

00:04:12.480 --> 00:04:13.000
 That's okay.

00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:14.939
 Just kidding.

00:04:15.260 --> 00:04:15.920
 My name is Oscar.

00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:16.540
 If you don't know me,

00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:18.319
 welcome to Watermark Family.

00:04:18.400 --> 00:04:19.120
 Welcome to our guests.

00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:22.579
 Let me pray for us as we dive into God's word this morning.

00:04:25.459 --> 00:04:26.259
 Father God,

00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:29.000
 Lord Jesus,

00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:29.959
 Holy Spirit,

00:04:30.459 --> 00:04:31.699
 may your name be lifted up

00:04:31.699 --> 00:04:34.600
 as we consider your word this morning.

00:04:36.660 --> 00:04:37.840
 Soften our hearts, Lord,

00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:39.899
 as we take in, Lord,

00:04:39.939 --> 00:04:41.000
 what you want to say to us.

00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:43.319
 I pray for myself, Lord.

00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:44.220
 I pray for humility,

00:04:44.780 --> 00:04:46.019
 but also conviction.

00:04:47.139 --> 00:04:47.899
 And I pray, God,

00:04:47.899 --> 00:04:49.139
 that all of us here would

00:04:49.139 --> 00:04:51.199
 see the beauty of Christ

00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:53.379
 and would embrace our great Redeemer this morning

00:04:53.379 --> 00:04:55.299
 as we consider your word.

00:04:55.779 --> 00:04:56.879
 So we give this time to you.

00:04:56.939 --> 00:04:58.279
 We dedicate this time to you

00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:00.079
 in the precious name of Christ.

00:05:01.139 --> 00:05:01.419
 Amen.

00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:04.799
 So what comes to mind

00:05:04.799 --> 00:05:06.139
 when you think of the word

00:05:06.139 --> 00:05:06.959
 Redeemer?

00:05:08.339 --> 00:05:09.159
 Parking redemption

00:05:09.159 --> 00:05:10.419
 at IFC

00:05:10.419 --> 00:05:11.379
 or Pacific Place?

00:05:12.259 --> 00:05:13.079
 You spend money

00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:13.779
 in order to get

00:05:13.779 --> 00:05:15.219
 free parking in return?

00:05:15.220 --> 00:05:17.860
 The Shawshank

00:05:17.860 --> 00:05:18.520
 redemption?

00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:20.600
 Everyone's like,

00:05:20.660 --> 00:05:21.000
 what's that?

00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:23.800
 That tells me how old you are.

00:05:23.880 --> 00:05:24.480
 You're all very young.

00:05:24.760 --> 00:05:25.580
 The 90s movie

00:05:25.580 --> 00:05:27.020
 starring Tim Robbins

00:05:27.020 --> 00:05:28.300
 as Andy Dufresne,

00:05:28.620 --> 00:05:30.220
 a man framed for murder

00:05:30.220 --> 00:05:31.660
 and convicted

00:05:31.660 --> 00:05:33.480
 to a life sentence.

00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:35.580
 Over 20 years,

00:05:35.700 --> 00:05:36.860
 Andy digs a tunnel

00:05:36.860 --> 00:05:38.080
 out of his prison cell

00:05:38.080 --> 00:05:39.640
 and brings about

00:05:39.640 --> 00:05:40.580
 his own redemption.

00:05:40.579 --> 00:05:40.680
 redemption.

00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:43.699
 The Bible says

00:05:43.699 --> 00:05:44.419
 that we too

00:05:44.419 --> 00:05:45.659
 are in need

00:05:45.659 --> 00:05:46.819
 of redemption

00:05:46.819 --> 00:05:48.099
 except

00:05:48.099 --> 00:05:49.139
 we aren't

00:05:49.139 --> 00:05:50.079
 innocent.

00:05:50.339 --> 00:05:51.500
 We're actually

00:05:51.500 --> 00:05:52.159
 guilty.

00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:54.019
 But we don't need

00:05:54.019 --> 00:05:54.860
 to effectuate

00:05:54.860 --> 00:05:56.240
 our own redemption.

00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:56.979
 Indeed,

00:05:57.519 --> 00:05:58.219
 we can't.

00:05:59.419 --> 00:06:00.579
 Someone outside

00:06:00.579 --> 00:06:01.579
 ourselves

00:06:01.579 --> 00:06:02.879
 has already

00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:03.560
 redeemed us

00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:04.599
 at great cost

00:06:04.599 --> 00:06:05.639
 to himself

00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:07.240
 and his name

00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:08.899
 is Jesus Christ.

00:06:08.899 --> 00:06:11.259
 Now,

00:06:11.299 --> 00:06:11.779
 if you've

00:06:11.779 --> 00:06:12.519
 missed

00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:13.179
 our

00:06:13.179 --> 00:06:13.979
 sermon series

00:06:13.979 --> 00:06:15.139
 on Ruth

00:06:15.139 --> 00:06:16.620
 thus far,

00:06:16.819 --> 00:06:17.639
 here's a quick summary

00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:18.339
 of what's happened.

00:06:19.579 --> 00:06:20.620
 There's a famine

00:06:20.620 --> 00:06:21.319
 in Bethlehem

00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:22.399
 and this man

00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:22.899
 Elimelech,

00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:24.539
 he moves his family

00:06:24.539 --> 00:06:25.419
 to a hostile

00:06:25.419 --> 00:06:26.500
 neighboring country

00:06:26.500 --> 00:06:27.139
 called Moab

00:06:27.139 --> 00:06:28.620
 in search of food.

00:06:29.179 --> 00:06:29.959
 But in Moab,

00:06:30.659 --> 00:06:32.060
 disaster strikes.

00:06:32.859 --> 00:06:33.719
 Elimelech dies

00:06:33.719 --> 00:06:35.560
 and after marrying

00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:36.239
 Moabite woman,

00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:37.399
 his two sons

00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:39.039
 die as well

00:06:39.039 --> 00:06:40.439
 and his wife,

00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:40.939
 Naomi,

00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:42.500
 is left with

00:06:42.500 --> 00:06:43.319
 her daughter-in-law,

00:06:43.939 --> 00:06:44.179
 Ruth.

00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:46.759
 But God provides

00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:47.139
 hope.

00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:48.799
 These two widows,

00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:49.459
 they return to

00:06:49.459 --> 00:06:50.019
 Bethlehem

00:06:50.019 --> 00:06:50.620
 and there,

00:06:50.859 --> 00:06:51.500
 Ruth meets

00:06:51.500 --> 00:06:52.139
 Boaz

00:06:52.139 --> 00:06:53.639
 during the harvest

00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:54.079
 season

00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:55.039
 who showers her

00:06:55.039 --> 00:06:55.679
 with great

00:06:55.679 --> 00:06:56.779
 kindness.

00:06:58.099 --> 00:06:58.639
 And we learn

00:06:58.639 --> 00:06:59.759
 that Boaz

00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:00.579
 is a so-called

00:07:00.579 --> 00:07:01.859
 kinsman redeemer,

00:07:02.799 --> 00:07:03.739
 a near relative

00:07:03.739 --> 00:07:04.659
 of Naomi's

00:07:04.659 --> 00:07:05.439
 dead husband,

00:07:05.579 --> 00:07:06.060
 Elimelech,

00:07:06.060 --> 00:07:06.899
 and hence

00:07:06.899 --> 00:07:07.959
 could possibly

00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:08.720
 redeem

00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:10.180
 or save

00:07:10.180 --> 00:07:11.019
 Naomi

00:07:11.019 --> 00:07:12.139
 and Ruth.

00:07:13.379 --> 00:07:14.100
 Ruth then

00:07:14.100 --> 00:07:14.480
 approaches

00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:15.560
 Boaz

00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:15.959
 in the dead

00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:16.399
 of night

00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:17.560
 and makes

00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:18.100
 her plea,

00:07:18.540 --> 00:07:19.240
 redeem me.

00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:20.959
 Boaz

00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:21.540
 responds

00:07:21.540 --> 00:07:22.399
 and honors

00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:23.079
 her request

00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:23.699
 and promises

00:07:23.699 --> 00:07:24.340
 to redeem

00:07:24.340 --> 00:07:24.579
 her,

00:07:24.939 --> 00:07:25.319
 but it's

00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:25.800
 complicated.

00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:26.959
 Boaz

00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:27.740
 must first

00:07:27.740 --> 00:07:29.340
 ask a nearer

00:07:29.340 --> 00:07:29.720
 redeemer

00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:30.759
 who has the

00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:31.519
 right of

00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:32.939
 redemption,

00:07:33.100 --> 00:07:33.600
 the first right

00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:34.040
 of redemption.

00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:36.740
 And so today

00:07:36.740 --> 00:07:37.700
 we conclude

00:07:37.700 --> 00:07:38.540
 our study

00:07:38.540 --> 00:07:39.840
 of the book

00:07:39.840 --> 00:07:40.580
 of Ruth

00:07:40.580 --> 00:07:41.180
 in chapter

00:07:41.180 --> 00:07:41.600
 four

00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:42.660
 and we'll

00:07:42.660 --> 00:07:43.120
 look at

00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:44.140
 three points

00:07:44.140 --> 00:07:44.439
 today.

00:07:45.660 --> 00:07:46.000
 Redemption

00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:47.020
 takes sacrifice,

00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:48.500
 redemption

00:07:48.500 --> 00:07:49.620
 is transformative

00:07:49.620 --> 00:07:51.480
 and redemption

00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:52.560
 is for

00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:53.020
 the broken.

00:07:55.200 --> 00:07:55.900
 Redemption

00:07:55.900 --> 00:07:56.780
 takes sacrifice.

00:07:58.460 --> 00:07:59.020
 So Boaz

00:07:59.020 --> 00:07:59.620
 looking to

00:07:59.620 --> 00:08:00.100
 make good

00:08:00.100 --> 00:08:00.980
 on his promise

00:08:00.980 --> 00:08:01.720
 to Ruth,

00:08:01.820 --> 00:08:02.759
 he heads up

00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:03.240
 to the city

00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:03.680
 gates

00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:04.500
 where legal

00:08:04.500 --> 00:08:05.279
 transactions

00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:06.539
 were often

00:08:06.539 --> 00:08:07.099
 conducted

00:08:07.099 --> 00:08:07.680
 in a sort

00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:08.560
 of public

00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:09.060
 square.

00:08:10.259 --> 00:08:10.819
 And there

00:08:10.819 --> 00:08:11.740
 Boaz

00:08:11.740 --> 00:08:12.300
 sees the

00:08:12.300 --> 00:08:12.719
 other

00:08:12.719 --> 00:08:13.199
 redeemer

00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:14.259
 whose name

00:08:14.259 --> 00:08:15.039
 is not

00:08:15.039 --> 00:08:16.139
 mentioned

00:08:16.139 --> 00:08:16.699
 in the

00:08:16.699 --> 00:08:17.039
 narrative.

00:08:18.019 --> 00:08:18.740
 The literal

00:08:18.740 --> 00:08:19.360
 translation

00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:20.459
 is Mr.

00:08:20.719 --> 00:08:21.279
 So-and-so.

00:08:22.699 --> 00:08:23.379
 Seeing Mr.

00:08:23.500 --> 00:08:24.000
 So-and-so,

00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:24.860
 Boaz

00:08:24.860 --> 00:08:25.539
 lays out

00:08:25.539 --> 00:08:26.199
 part of

00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:26.579
 the deal

00:08:26.579 --> 00:08:27.000
 to him

00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:27.579
 in verses

00:08:27.579 --> 00:08:28.180
 three and

00:08:28.180 --> 00:08:28.519
 four.

00:08:29.420 --> 00:08:29.599
 Boaz

00:08:29.599 --> 00:08:30.079
 tells him,

00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:32.120
 our relative

00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:32.600
 Naomi,

00:08:32.939 --> 00:08:33.659
 she's back

00:08:33.659 --> 00:08:34.259
 from Moab

00:08:34.259 --> 00:08:34.699
 and she's

00:08:34.699 --> 00:08:35.179
 selling her

00:08:35.179 --> 00:08:35.639
 land.

00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:36.600
 If you

00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:36.960
 want it,

00:08:37.019 --> 00:08:37.600
 it's yours.

00:08:37.740 --> 00:08:38.299
 But if not,

00:08:38.899 --> 00:08:39.460
 let me know

00:08:39.460 --> 00:08:40.039
 because I'm

00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:40.559
 next in

00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:40.919
 line.

00:08:42.460 --> 00:08:43.059
 During those

00:08:43.059 --> 00:08:43.500
 days in

00:08:43.500 --> 00:08:43.860
 Israel,

00:08:44.199 --> 00:08:44.860
 God granted

00:08:44.860 --> 00:08:45.699
 land to

00:08:45.699 --> 00:08:46.720
 the different

00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:48.319
 families of

00:08:48.319 --> 00:08:48.840
 his people.

00:08:49.740 --> 00:08:50.240
 And if you

00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:50.840
 fell on hard

00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:51.419
 times and

00:08:51.419 --> 00:08:51.819
 you had to

00:08:51.819 --> 00:08:52.399
 sell your

00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:53.340
 land to

00:08:53.340 --> 00:08:53.899
 survive,

00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:54.759
 your nearest

00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:55.379
 relative,

00:08:55.939 --> 00:08:56.759
 a kinsman

00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:57.240
 redeemer,

00:08:57.399 --> 00:08:58.279
 could buy

00:08:58.279 --> 00:08:58.860
 it back.

00:08:58.860 --> 00:09:00.460
 this mechanism

00:09:00.460 --> 00:09:00.899
 was put in

00:09:00.899 --> 00:09:01.539
 place so

00:09:01.539 --> 00:09:02.220
 that land

00:09:02.220 --> 00:09:02.879
 stayed within

00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:03.600
 each family

00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:03.940
 throughout

00:09:03.940 --> 00:09:04.580
 generations.

00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:06.399
 In the

00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:06.720
 case of

00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:07.039
 Naomi,

00:09:07.300 --> 00:09:07.659
 we could

00:09:07.659 --> 00:09:08.200
 infer that

00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:08.720
 the land

00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:09.120
 that she

00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:09.680
 was selling

00:09:09.680 --> 00:09:10.300
 wasn't very

00:09:10.300 --> 00:09:11.039
 valuable to

00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:11.240
 her.

00:09:11.980 --> 00:09:12.320
 We know

00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:12.779
 she was

00:09:12.779 --> 00:09:13.899
 poor and

00:09:13.899 --> 00:09:14.480
 possibly the

00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:14.879
 land wasn't

00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:15.379
 very valuable

00:09:15.379 --> 00:09:15.879
 because it

00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:16.200
 had a big

00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:16.879
 mortgage on

00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:17.080
 it.

00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:18.159
 But Naomi

00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:18.620
 needed the

00:09:18.620 --> 00:09:19.639
 money and

00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:20.139
 selling the

00:09:20.139 --> 00:09:20.600
 land would

00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:20.879
 get her

00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:21.279
 the money.

00:09:22.680 --> 00:09:22.920
 And in

00:09:22.920 --> 00:09:23.560
 comes Mr.

00:09:23.659 --> 00:09:24.220
 So-and-so,

00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:24.980
 seeing a

00:09:24.980 --> 00:09:25.320
 desperate

00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:25.680
 widow,

00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:26.360
 seeing a

00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:27.080
 good deal,

00:09:27.620 --> 00:09:28.120
 and he

00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:28.480
 says,

00:09:28.860 --> 00:09:29.279
 done,

00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:30.180
 I'll

00:09:30.180 --> 00:09:30.659
 redeem it.

00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:32.399
 But Boaz

00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:33.320
 has an

00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:33.779
 ace up

00:09:33.779 --> 00:09:34.379
 his sleeve.

00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:35.480
 In

00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:36.139
 verse 5,

00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:37.000
 he tells

00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:37.600
 so-and-so

00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:38.159
 that if

00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:38.460
 you want

00:09:38.460 --> 00:09:38.960
 the land,

00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:39.399
 it's a

00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:39.800
 package

00:09:39.800 --> 00:09:40.360
 deal.

00:09:41.379 --> 00:09:42.320
 If you

00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:42.600
 want the

00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:42.860
 land,

00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:43.120
 you've

00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:43.340
 got to

00:09:43.340 --> 00:09:43.560
 marry

00:09:43.560 --> 00:09:44.620
 Ruth as

00:09:44.620 --> 00:09:45.000
 well.

00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:47.200
 But Mr.

00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:47.820
 So-and-so

00:09:47.820 --> 00:09:48.539
 cannot pull

00:09:48.539 --> 00:09:49.019
 the trigger,

00:09:49.539 --> 00:09:50.200
 for the

00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:51.480
 price was

00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:52.200
 too costly.

00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:54.200
 Why is

00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:54.399
 that?

00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:55.379
 Well,

00:09:55.920 --> 00:09:56.560
 according to

00:09:56.560 --> 00:09:57.139
 Jewish law,

00:09:57.139 --> 00:09:58.580
 if so-and-so

00:09:58.580 --> 00:09:59.179
 and Ruth

00:09:59.179 --> 00:09:59.699
 married,

00:09:59.860 --> 00:10:00.319
 and if

00:10:00.319 --> 00:10:00.840
 their first

00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:02.199
 child was

00:10:02.199 --> 00:10:02.799
 a son,

00:10:03.139 --> 00:10:04.159
 that child

00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:04.759
 would not

00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:06.480
 be so-and-so's

00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:06.639
 son.

00:10:06.740 --> 00:10:07.179
 That child

00:10:07.179 --> 00:10:08.039
 would be

00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:08.960
 Malon's

00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:09.179
 son,

00:10:09.319 --> 00:10:09.759
 Ruth's

00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:09.980
 dead

00:10:09.980 --> 00:10:10.720
 husband's

00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:10.980
 son,

00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:11.720
 who would

00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:12.620
 carry on

00:10:12.620 --> 00:10:13.179
 the family

00:10:13.179 --> 00:10:14.179
 name and

00:10:14.179 --> 00:10:15.319
 lineage of

00:10:15.319 --> 00:10:16.240
 Malon to

00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:17.319
 perpetuate the

00:10:17.319 --> 00:10:18.019
 name of the

00:10:18.019 --> 00:10:19.019
 dead in

00:10:19.019 --> 00:10:19.639
 his inheritance.

00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:21.960
 And this

00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:22.500
 would have

00:10:22.500 --> 00:10:23.179
 two potentially

00:10:23.179 --> 00:10:24.759
 very costly

00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:26.059
 implications for

00:10:26.059 --> 00:10:26.339
 Mr.

00:10:26.479 --> 00:10:27.019
 So-and-so.

00:10:27.939 --> 00:10:28.459
 First,

00:10:29.059 --> 00:10:29.839
 all the

00:10:29.839 --> 00:10:30.219
 yield,

00:10:30.319 --> 00:10:30.519
 all the

00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:31.699
 grain produced

00:10:31.699 --> 00:10:32.139
 on that

00:10:32.139 --> 00:10:32.639
 land that

00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:32.899
 he bought

00:10:32.899 --> 00:10:33.500
 from Naomi,

00:10:33.899 --> 00:10:34.279
 that would

00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:34.719
 go to

00:10:34.719 --> 00:10:35.659
 Malon's

00:10:35.659 --> 00:10:35.939
 son,

00:10:36.459 --> 00:10:37.000
 not to

00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:37.479
 his own

00:10:37.479 --> 00:10:37.939
 children.

00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:39.179
 There would

00:10:39.179 --> 00:10:39.859
 be a sign

00:10:39.859 --> 00:10:40.959
 in front of

00:10:40.959 --> 00:10:41.559
 the land

00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:43.359
 in perpetuity

00:10:43.359 --> 00:10:43.939
 that would

00:10:43.939 --> 00:10:44.199
 say,

00:10:44.199 --> 00:10:44.819
 this is

00:10:44.819 --> 00:10:45.299
 Malon's

00:10:45.299 --> 00:10:46.139
 family land.

00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:48.419
 And second,

00:10:49.500 --> 00:10:50.079
 Malon's

00:10:50.079 --> 00:10:50.539
 son would

00:10:50.539 --> 00:10:51.639
 also have

00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:52.199
 the right

00:10:52.199 --> 00:10:52.659
 to the

00:10:52.659 --> 00:10:53.559
 other

00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:54.379
 assets

00:10:54.379 --> 00:10:55.279
 of

00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:56.320
 so-and-so.

00:10:56.659 --> 00:10:56.939
 Meaning,

00:10:58.000 --> 00:10:58.919
 if so-and-so,

00:10:59.320 --> 00:10:59.919
 there's a lot

00:10:59.919 --> 00:11:00.399
 of so-and-so,

00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:00.720
 sorry,

00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:01.279
 so-and-so,

00:11:01.379 --> 00:11:01.700
 so-and-so.

00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:02.899
 If so-and-so

00:11:02.899 --> 00:11:03.879
 had other

00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:04.439
 children,

00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:06.360
 those kids

00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:06.639
 would have

00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:07.139
 to share

00:11:07.139 --> 00:11:07.539
 their

00:11:07.539 --> 00:11:08.059
 inheritance

00:11:08.059 --> 00:11:08.980
 with

00:11:08.980 --> 00:11:10.179
 Malon's

00:11:10.179 --> 00:11:10.480
 son.

00:11:11.460 --> 00:11:11.860
 Hence,

00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:13.080
 Mr.

00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:13.700
 so-and-so

00:11:13.700 --> 00:11:14.139
 says,

00:11:14.980 --> 00:11:15.519
 I can't

00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:16.159
 redeem it,

00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:17.159
 lest I

00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:17.600
 impair

00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:18.440
 my own

00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:18.919
 inheritance.

00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:20.700
 It's like

00:11:20.700 --> 00:11:21.259
 when I have

00:11:21.259 --> 00:11:21.960
 one hamburger

00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:22.519
 left in the

00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:22.799
 fridge,

00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:23.559
 it's one

00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:24.019
 meal for

00:11:24.019 --> 00:11:24.240
 me,

00:11:24.339 --> 00:11:24.959
 but if I

00:11:24.959 --> 00:11:25.319
 gotta share

00:11:25.319 --> 00:11:25.439
 it with

00:11:25.439 --> 00:11:25.799
 my three

00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:26.139
 kids,

00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:26.959
 it's not

00:11:26.959 --> 00:11:27.319
 enough.

00:11:28.699 --> 00:11:29.059
 Of course,

00:11:29.099 --> 00:11:29.439
 I'd always

00:11:29.439 --> 00:11:29.819
 share it with

00:11:29.819 --> 00:11:30.240
 my kids,

00:11:30.359 --> 00:11:30.699
 I'm just

00:11:30.699 --> 00:11:31.039
 joking.

00:11:31.620 --> 00:11:32.179
 Except if

00:11:32.179 --> 00:11:32.579
 that's

00:11:32.579 --> 00:11:33.219
 Bones and

00:11:33.219 --> 00:11:33.439
 Blades

00:11:33.439 --> 00:11:33.740
 burgers,

00:11:33.899 --> 00:11:34.339
 Alan knows,

00:11:34.439 --> 00:11:34.620
 I would

00:11:34.620 --> 00:11:34.959
 never share

00:11:34.959 --> 00:11:35.219
 that.

00:11:37.019 --> 00:11:37.419
 Marrying

00:11:37.419 --> 00:11:37.899
 Ruth was

00:11:37.899 --> 00:11:38.699
 too costly

00:11:38.699 --> 00:11:39.559
 for so-and-so,

00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:40.000
 and so he

00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:40.779
 waves his

00:11:40.779 --> 00:11:41.819
 right and

00:11:41.819 --> 00:11:42.459
 symbolically

00:11:42.459 --> 00:11:43.019
 takes off

00:11:43.019 --> 00:11:43.699
 his sandal,

00:11:43.979 --> 00:11:44.500
 which is like

00:11:44.500 --> 00:11:45.219
 a handshake

00:11:45.219 --> 00:11:46.179
 to seal a

00:11:46.179 --> 00:11:46.419
 deal.

00:11:47.599 --> 00:11:48.299
 And Boaz

00:11:48.299 --> 00:11:49.299
 proudly announces

00:11:49.299 --> 00:11:49.799
 that he has

00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:50.240
 bought the

00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:51.219
 land from

00:11:51.219 --> 00:11:51.620
 Naomi,

00:11:51.620 --> 00:11:52.519
 and Ruth

00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:53.060
 would be

00:11:53.060 --> 00:11:53.860
 his wife.

00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:55.220
 Mr.

00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:55.779
 So-and-so

00:11:55.779 --> 00:11:56.919
 wouldn't do

00:11:56.919 --> 00:11:57.220
 it,

00:11:57.899 --> 00:11:58.720
 but Boaz

00:11:58.720 --> 00:11:59.500
 did.

00:12:00.560 --> 00:12:01.060
 Because in

00:12:01.060 --> 00:12:02.120
 any sacrifice,

00:12:02.659 --> 00:12:03.240
 there must

00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:03.820
 be both

00:12:03.820 --> 00:12:04.560
 ability

00:12:04.560 --> 00:12:05.799
 and

00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:06.379
 willingness.

00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:08.120
 So-and-so

00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:08.539
 had the

00:12:08.539 --> 00:12:08.919
 ability,

00:12:09.299 --> 00:12:10.019
 he was a

00:12:10.019 --> 00:12:10.379
 nearer

00:12:10.379 --> 00:12:10.759
 redeemer,

00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:11.600
 he was

00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:12.060
 wealthy,

00:12:12.379 --> 00:12:12.720
 but he

00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:13.460
 didn't have

00:12:13.460 --> 00:12:14.060
 the

00:12:14.060 --> 00:12:14.440
 willingness.

00:12:15.539 --> 00:12:16.100
 Because it

00:12:16.100 --> 00:12:16.360
 was a

00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:16.840
 voluntary

00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:17.820
 decision.

00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:20.100
 Boaz

00:12:20.100 --> 00:12:20.680
 also had

00:12:20.680 --> 00:12:20.779
 the

00:12:20.779 --> 00:12:21.120
 ability,

00:12:21.420 --> 00:12:21.720
 he was

00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:22.399
 also a

00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:22.720
 nearer

00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:23.019
 redeemer,

00:12:23.259 --> 00:12:23.580
 he was

00:12:23.580 --> 00:12:23.980
 also

00:12:23.980 --> 00:12:24.460
 wealthy,

00:12:24.800 --> 00:12:25.200
 but he

00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:25.840
 also had

00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:26.000
 the

00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:26.300
 willingness.

00:12:27.779 --> 00:12:27.940
 See,

00:12:28.019 --> 00:12:28.700
 from afar,

00:12:29.259 --> 00:12:29.860
 Boaz,

00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:30.840
 he heard

00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:31.540
 of Ruth's

00:12:31.540 --> 00:12:32.300
 loyalty to

00:12:32.300 --> 00:12:32.620
 Naomi.

00:12:33.620 --> 00:12:34.379
 He heard

00:12:34.379 --> 00:12:34.720
 of Ruth's

00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:35.080
 loyalty to

00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:35.680
 Naomi,

00:12:36.040 --> 00:12:36.600
 he saw

00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:37.120
 her faith

00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:37.680
 in action

00:12:37.680 --> 00:12:38.759
 in his

00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:39.379
 own fields,

00:12:39.620 --> 00:12:40.000
 and his

00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:40.740
 fondness for

00:12:40.740 --> 00:12:41.420
 Ruth grew

00:12:41.420 --> 00:12:42.300
 from admiration

00:12:42.300 --> 00:12:43.580
 to appreciation

00:12:43.580 --> 00:12:45.060
 to respect

00:12:45.060 --> 00:12:46.259
 and ultimately

00:12:46.259 --> 00:12:47.259
 to love.

00:12:47.259 --> 00:12:49.100
 he fell

00:12:49.100 --> 00:12:49.419
 in love

00:12:49.419 --> 00:12:49.899
 with Ruth

00:12:49.899 --> 00:12:50.659
 and love

00:12:50.659 --> 00:12:51.539
 drove his

00:12:51.539 --> 00:12:51.879
 willingness

00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:52.860
 to take

00:12:52.860 --> 00:12:53.620
 the hit,

00:12:54.059 --> 00:12:54.740
 to take a

00:12:54.740 --> 00:12:55.179
 pound of

00:12:55.179 --> 00:12:56.039
 flesh out

00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:56.539
 of himself,

00:12:56.919 --> 00:12:57.740
 to sacrifice

00:12:57.740 --> 00:12:58.460
 for Ruth

00:12:58.460 --> 00:12:59.059
 and by

00:12:59.059 --> 00:12:59.879
 extension to

00:12:59.879 --> 00:13:00.799
 sacrifice for

00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:01.279
 Naomi.

00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:03.519
 Because

00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:04.059
 redemption

00:13:04.059 --> 00:13:05.399
 takes sacrifice

00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:06.740
 and sacrifice

00:13:06.740 --> 00:13:07.899
 takes both

00:13:07.899 --> 00:13:09.480
 ability and

00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:10.259
 willingness.

00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:12.559
 And how

00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:13.259
 much more

00:13:13.259 --> 00:13:14.259
 was our

00:13:14.259 --> 00:13:14.659
 redemption

00:13:14.659 --> 00:13:15.419
 and the

00:13:15.419 --> 00:13:15.799
 forgiveness

00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:16.699
 of our

00:13:16.699 --> 00:13:17.120
 sins

00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:17.839
 costly

00:13:17.839 --> 00:13:18.939
 for Jesus.

00:13:19.620 --> 00:13:20.179
 Only

00:13:20.179 --> 00:13:20.779
 Jesus had

00:13:20.779 --> 00:13:21.399
 the ability

00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:22.500
 to suffer

00:13:22.500 --> 00:13:23.139
 on the

00:13:23.139 --> 00:13:23.599
 cross for

00:13:23.599 --> 00:13:24.379
 the redemption

00:13:24.379 --> 00:13:25.019
 of the world

00:13:25.019 --> 00:13:26.000
 because he

00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:26.679
 was God

00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:27.399
 and because

00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:27.979
 he was

00:13:27.979 --> 00:13:28.479
 perfect.

00:13:29.959 --> 00:13:30.579
 But Jesus

00:13:30.579 --> 00:13:31.279
 also had

00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:31.779
 the willingness

00:13:31.779 --> 00:13:33.059
 as well.

00:13:33.620 --> 00:13:33.759
 He

00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:34.559
 willingly

00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:35.199
 went to

00:13:35.199 --> 00:13:35.779
 the cross

00:13:35.779 --> 00:13:36.919
 to endure

00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:37.839
 unspeakable

00:13:37.839 --> 00:13:38.459
 suffering

00:13:38.459 --> 00:13:39.699
 because he

00:13:39.699 --> 00:13:40.559
 loves you.

00:13:42.299 --> 00:13:42.819
 But unlike

00:13:42.819 --> 00:13:43.339
 Boaz,

00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:44.579
 Jesus didn't

00:13:44.579 --> 00:13:45.359
 just give a

00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:45.759
 part of

00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:46.240
 himself,

00:13:46.539 --> 00:13:47.419
 he gave

00:13:47.419 --> 00:13:48.340
 all of

00:13:48.340 --> 00:13:48.759
 himself.

00:13:49.779 --> 00:13:50.300
 And unlike

00:13:50.300 --> 00:13:50.840
 Boaz,

00:13:51.340 --> 00:13:52.419
 Jesus didn't

00:13:52.419 --> 00:13:53.240
 fall in love

00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:53.680
 with you.

00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:55.000
 He has

00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:55.600
 known you

00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:56.000
 and he's

00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:56.539
 loved you

00:13:56.539 --> 00:13:57.159
 since the

00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:57.820
 foundation of

00:13:57.820 --> 00:13:58.220
 the world.

00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:00.340
 Redemption

00:14:00.340 --> 00:14:01.180
 takes sacrifice.

00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:03.639
 Second,

00:14:03.779 --> 00:14:04.080
 redemption

00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:05.159
 is transformative.

00:14:06.659 --> 00:14:07.080
 And once

00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:07.600
 redeemed,

00:14:07.800 --> 00:14:08.360
 Naomi and

00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:08.899
 Ruth were

00:14:08.899 --> 00:14:09.340
 never the

00:14:09.340 --> 00:14:09.820
 same again.

00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:11.659
 This story

00:14:11.659 --> 00:14:12.360
 soon ends

00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:12.820
 so we don't

00:14:12.820 --> 00:14:13.360
 get to see

00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:14.200
 too much

00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:14.600
 into the

00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:15.180
 new lives

00:14:15.180 --> 00:14:16.120
 of Ruth

00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:16.820
 and Naomi

00:14:16.820 --> 00:14:17.279
 but what

00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:17.639
 we do

00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:18.259
 see is

00:14:18.259 --> 00:14:19.779
 a profound

00:14:19.779 --> 00:14:20.659
 transformation

00:14:20.659 --> 00:14:21.399
 in their

00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:21.980
 identity

00:14:21.980 --> 00:14:23.139
 and in

00:14:23.139 --> 00:14:23.680
 their heart

00:14:23.680 --> 00:14:24.159
 sentiment

00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:25.320
 after

00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:26.159
 their

00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:26.519
 redemption.

00:14:28.220 --> 00:14:28.960
 Look at

00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:29.240
 Ruth.

00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:30.419
 If we

00:14:30.419 --> 00:14:31.039
 skip forward

00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:31.519
 a bit to

00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:32.279
 verse 13

00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:33.759
 we read

00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:35.100
 Boaz

00:14:35.100 --> 00:14:35.100


00:14:35.100 --> 00:14:35.340
 took

00:14:35.340 --> 00:14:35.740
 Ruth

00:14:35.740 --> 00:14:36.139
 and

00:14:36.139 --> 00:14:36.439
 she

00:14:36.439 --> 00:14:36.740
 became

00:14:36.740 --> 00:14:36.980
 his

00:14:36.980 --> 00:14:37.439
 wife

00:14:37.439 --> 00:14:38.399
 and

00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:38.559
 he

00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:38.759
 went

00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:39.080
 into

00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:39.340
 her

00:14:39.340 --> 00:14:39.779
 and

00:14:39.779 --> 00:14:39.960
 the

00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:40.279
 Lord

00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:40.639
 gave

00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:40.799
 her

00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:41.439
 conception

00:14:41.439 --> 00:14:42.139
 and

00:14:42.139 --> 00:14:42.299
 she

00:14:42.299 --> 00:14:42.679
 bore

00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:43.259
 a

00:14:43.259 --> 00:14:43.539
 son.

00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:45.039
 Think

00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:45.500
 about it.

00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:46.419
 What a

00:14:46.419 --> 00:14:48.120
 180 degree

00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:48.679
 turn

00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:49.419
 for Ruth.

00:14:50.100 --> 00:14:50.519
 In chapter

00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:51.159
 one she

00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:51.899
 was a poor

00:14:51.899 --> 00:14:52.659
 Moabite

00:14:52.659 --> 00:14:52.960
 widow

00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:53.580
 with no

00:14:53.580 --> 00:14:53.960
 heir.

00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:55.159
 She was

00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:55.740
 destitute

00:14:55.740 --> 00:14:56.840
 and hungry

00:14:56.840 --> 00:14:57.519
 with no

00:14:57.519 --> 00:14:57.759
 one to

00:14:57.759 --> 00:14:58.100
 protect

00:14:58.100 --> 00:14:58.319
 her

00:14:58.319 --> 00:14:59.159
 and now

00:14:59.159 --> 00:15:00.240
 she is

00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:00.720
 a wife

00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:01.039
 of this

00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:01.559
 worthy

00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:02.619
 and God

00:15:02.619 --> 00:15:02.879
 fearing

00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:03.219
 man

00:15:03.219 --> 00:15:03.739
 Boaz

00:15:03.739 --> 00:15:03.899
 who

00:15:03.899 --> 00:15:04.039
 would

00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:04.379
 permanently

00:15:04.379 --> 00:15:04.919
 protect

00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:05.159
 her

00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:05.859
 and

00:15:05.859 --> 00:15:06.359
 provide

00:15:06.359 --> 00:15:06.819
 for her.

00:15:07.819 --> 00:15:08.039
 But

00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:08.199
 there's

00:15:08.199 --> 00:15:08.539
 more.

00:15:09.500 --> 00:15:09.699
 God

00:15:09.699 --> 00:15:10.419
 intervened

00:15:10.419 --> 00:15:10.859
 as he's

00:15:10.859 --> 00:15:11.239
 been doing

00:15:11.239 --> 00:15:11.879
 this entire

00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:12.179
 book

00:15:12.179 --> 00:15:12.739
 and he

00:15:12.739 --> 00:15:13.179
 gave her

00:15:13.179 --> 00:15:13.879
 conception.

00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:15.279
 God

00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:15.679
 blessed

00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:16.159
 Ruth

00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:17.000
 with a

00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:17.399
 son

00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:18.719
 Obed

00:15:18.719 --> 00:15:19.319
 to

00:15:19.319 --> 00:15:19.799
 sustain

00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:20.099
 her

00:15:20.099 --> 00:15:20.519
 and

00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:20.799
 carry

00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:21.099
 on

00:15:21.099 --> 00:15:21.279
 her

00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:21.559
 family

00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:21.979
 line.

00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:22.739
 Ruth

00:15:22.739 --> 00:15:22.959
 has

00:15:22.959 --> 00:15:23.259
 truly

00:15:23.259 --> 00:15:23.719
 found

00:15:23.719 --> 00:15:24.279
 rest.

00:15:25.459 --> 00:15:25.559
 Her

00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:25.879
 identity

00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:26.559
 changed.

00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:27.000
 Her

00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:27.559
 purpose

00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:28.179
 changed.

00:15:28.459 --> 00:15:28.559
 Her

00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:29.099
 life

00:15:29.099 --> 00:15:29.739
 changed.

00:15:30.299 --> 00:15:30.500
 No

00:15:30.500 --> 00:15:30.719
 more

00:15:30.719 --> 00:15:30.979
 gleaning

00:15:30.979 --> 00:15:31.159
 in

00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:31.539
 fields.

00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:31.859
 I

00:15:31.859 --> 00:15:32.319
 imagine

00:15:32.319 --> 00:15:33.479
 where

00:15:33.479 --> 00:15:33.619
 there

00:15:33.619 --> 00:15:33.799
 was

00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:34.399
 despair

00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:35.059
 there

00:15:35.059 --> 00:15:35.199
 is

00:15:35.199 --> 00:15:35.439
 now

00:15:35.439 --> 00:15:35.899
 hope

00:15:35.899 --> 00:15:36.279
 where

00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:36.419
 there

00:15:36.419 --> 00:15:36.539
 was

00:15:36.539 --> 00:15:37.139
 barrenness

00:15:37.139 --> 00:15:37.419
 now

00:15:37.419 --> 00:15:37.599
 there's

00:15:37.599 --> 00:15:37.759
 new

00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:38.279
 life.

00:15:38.619 --> 00:15:38.779
 Ruth

00:15:38.779 --> 00:15:39.019
 used

00:15:39.019 --> 00:15:39.099
 to

00:15:39.099 --> 00:15:39.179
 be

00:15:39.179 --> 00:15:39.339
 an

00:15:39.339 --> 00:15:39.959
 outcast

00:15:39.959 --> 00:15:40.199
 now

00:15:40.199 --> 00:15:40.459
 she's

00:15:40.459 --> 00:15:40.619
 an

00:15:40.619 --> 00:15:40.979
 honored

00:15:40.979 --> 00:15:41.439
 member

00:15:41.439 --> 00:15:42.059
 of

00:15:42.059 --> 00:15:42.159
 the

00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:42.339
 people

00:15:42.339 --> 00:15:42.519
 of

00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:42.859
 God.

00:15:44.739 --> 00:15:45.139
 Redemption

00:15:45.139 --> 00:15:46.179
 was

00:15:46.179 --> 00:15:46.619
 transformative

00:15:46.619 --> 00:15:47.199
 for

00:15:47.199 --> 00:15:47.519
 Ruth.

00:15:49.019 --> 00:15:49.139
 And

00:15:49.139 --> 00:15:49.779
 arguably

00:15:49.779 --> 00:15:50.479
 redemption

00:15:50.479 --> 00:15:51.319
 was even

00:15:51.319 --> 00:15:51.659
 more

00:15:51.659 --> 00:15:52.179
 transformative

00:15:52.179 --> 00:15:52.579
 for

00:15:52.579 --> 00:15:53.079
 Naomi.

00:15:54.419 --> 00:15:54.779
 In

00:15:54.779 --> 00:15:55.039
 verses

00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:55.679
 14

00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:55.959
 and

00:15:55.959 --> 00:15:56.539
 15

00:15:56.539 --> 00:15:57.239
 the

00:15:57.239 --> 00:15:57.779
 neighboring

00:15:57.779 --> 00:15:58.219
 woman

00:15:58.219 --> 00:15:58.979
 they

00:15:58.979 --> 00:15:59.639
 praise

00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:00.199
 God

00:16:00.199 --> 00:16:00.559
 for

00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:00.859
 his

00:16:00.859 --> 00:16:01.159
 goodness

00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:01.779
 and

00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:16.480
 more

00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:16.700

00:18:19.299 --> 00:18:19.819
 Let

00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:21.139
 I

00:18:21.139 --> 00:18:21.279

00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:30.259
 more

00:18:30.259 --> 00:18:30.420

00:18:36.100 --> 00:18:36.680
 For

00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:37.040
 me

00:18:37.040 --> 00:18:38.100
 that

00:18:38.100 --> 00:18:38.259

00:18:38.259 --> 00:18:38.500
 my

00:18:38.500 --> 00:18:38.880
 career

00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:39.100
 in

00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:43.420
 months

00:18:43.420 --> 00:18:43.720
 ago

00:18:43.720 --> 00:18:44.900
 but

00:18:44.900 --> 00:18:45.040
 the

00:18:45.040 --> 00:18:45.340
 five

00:18:45.340 --> 00:18:45.560
 years

00:18:45.560 --> 00:18:45.759

00:18:48.180 --> 00:18:48.320
 really

00:18:48.320 --> 00:18:48.660
 difficult.

00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:49.360
 I

00:18:49.360 --> 00:18:49.500
 was

00:18:49.500 --> 00:18:49.680
 always

00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:50.060
 stressed

00:18:50.060 --> 00:18:50.420
 out.

00:18:50.540 --> 00:18:50.600
 I

00:18:50.600 --> 00:18:50.720
 was

00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:51.160
 mentally

00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:51.540
 working

00:18:51.540 --> 00:18:52.360
 24-7.

00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:52.940
 My

00:18:52.940 --> 00:18:53.340
 performance

00:18:53.340 --> 00:18:53.620
 was

00:18:53.620 --> 00:18:53.840
 not

00:18:53.840 --> 00:18:54.140
 good.

00:18:55.420 --> 00:18:55.620
 But

00:18:55.620 --> 00:18:55.780
 one

00:18:55.780 --> 00:18:55.940
 thing

 and

00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:49.099
 I

00:19:49.099 --> 00:19:49.299
 know

00:19:49.299 --> 00:19:49.480
 that

00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:49.720
 may

00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:50.039
 sound

00:19:50.039 --> 00:19:50.619
 simplistic

00:19:50.619 --> 00:19:51.559
 but

00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:51.699
 I

00:19:51.699 --> 00:19:51.859
 am

00:19:51.859 --> 00:19:52.199
 just

00:19:52.199 --> 00:19:52.719
 sharing

00:19:52.719 --> 00:19:52.959
 with

00:19:52.959 --> 00:19:53.099
 you

00:19:53.099 --> 00:19:53.739
 exactly

00:19:53.739 --> 00:19:54.059
 what

00:19:54.059 --> 00:19:54.199
 I've

00:19:54.199 --> 00:19:54.759
 experienced

00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:56.000
 there

00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:56.119
 is

00:19:56.119 --> 00:19:56.319
 now

00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:56.559
 so

00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:56.719
 much

00:19:56.719 --> 00:19:56.979
 more

00:19:56.979 --> 00:19:57.179
 room

00:19:57.179 --> 00:19:57.279
 in

00:19:57.279 --> 00:19:57.419
 my

00:19:57.419 --> 00:19:57.799
 heart

00:19:57.799 --> 00:19:58.479
 to

00:19:58.479 --> 00:19:58.939
 worship

00:19:58.939 --> 00:19:59.319

00:19:59.739 --> 00:20:00.419
 my

00:20:00.419 --> 00:20:00.759
 Lord

00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:02.139
 now

00:20:02.139 --> 00:20:02.279
 I'm

00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:02.419
 not

00:20:02.419 --> 00:20:02.759
 saying

00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:02.899
 that

00:20:02.899 --> 00:20:03.039
 all

00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:03.159
 of

00:20:03.159 --> 00:20:03.279
 us

00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:03.379

00:20:03.379 --> 00:20:03.519
 quit

00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:03.639
 our

00:20:03.639 --> 00:20:04.039
 jobs

00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:04.619
 okay

00:20:04.619 --> 00:20:05.079
 we

00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:05.199
 don't

00:20:05.199 --> 00:20:05.319
 want

00:20:05.319 --> 00:20:05.539
 everyone

00:20:05.539 --> 00:20:05.679
 in

00:20:05.679 --> 00:20:05.979
 water

00:20:05.979 --> 00:20:06.279

00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:06.659
 unemployed

00:20:06.659 --> 00:20:08.519
 but

00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:08.679
 what

00:20:08.679 --> 00:20:09.159
 matters

00:20:09.159 --> 00:20:09.699
 is

 God

 amazing

 plan

00:33:29.120 --> 00:33:30.519
 like

00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:30.799
 Ruth

00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:31.019
 and

00:33:31.019 --> 00:33:31.519
 Boaz

00:33:31.519 --> 00:33:32.480
 we're

00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:32.700
 never

00:33:32.700 --> 00:33:32.860
 going

00:33:32.860 --> 00:33:32.980
 to

00:33:32.980 --> 00:33:33.299
 see

00:33:33.299 --> 00:33:33.860
 the

 full

00:33:34.120 --> 00:33:34.579

 the

00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:35.539
 outlook

00:33:35.539 --> 00:33:35.740
 will

00:33:35.740 --> 00:33:36.019
 always

00:33:36.019 --> 00:33:36.200
 be

00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:36.480
 a bit

00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:37.079
 foggy

00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:37.879
 and yet

00:33:37.879 --> 00:33:38.480
 we can

00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:38.879
 trust

00:33:38.879 --> 00:33:39.399
 that we

00:33:39.399 --> 00:33:39.759
 serve

00:33:39.759 --> 00:33:40.220
 a

00:33:40.220 --> 00:33:40.599
 big

00:33:40.599 --> 00:33:41.039

00:33:42.179 --> 00:33:42.480
 purposes

00:33:42.480 --> 00:33:43.019
 are

00:33:43.019 --> 00:33:43.419
 so

00:33:43.419 --> 00:33:43.720
 much

00:33:43.720 --> 00:33:43.960
 greater

00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:44.079
 than

00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:44.159
 we

00:33:44.159 --> 00:33:44.259
 could

00:33:44.259 --> 00:33:44.500
 ever

00:33:44.500 --> 00:33:45.079
 imagine

00:33:48.379 --> 00:33:48.639
 him

00:33:48.639 --> 00:33:50.480
 and

00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:50.599
 what

00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:50.720
 is

00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:50.839
 that
