Genealogy of Grace: Ruth

The story of Ruth, a Moabite widow, is filled with saving grace. It begins with famine that is followed by loss, grief, and the potential for absolute ruin, but it ends happily with a marriage celebration followed by the arrival of a baby boy. Ruth will be the great grandmother of King David and she will be recorded in the genealogy of the King of Kings. What a surprise! Now we wait for the surprise of all surprises–God choosing to be born a man to save us from sin and death.
