Ruth 1–4 • Story and scripture practice
Walk through Ruth’s story, discover what a redeemer does, and see how Boaz’s role points us towards Jesus Christ.
Tap the four moments in order. The path begins with loss in Moab and ends with redemption and restoration.
Match each example to one meaning of redeem. Complete all four cards to finish this section.
Boaz completed a lawful family obligation that Ruth and Naomi could not complete alone.
Boaz told the workers not to trouble Ruth and made sure she had food and water.
In scripture, redemption can describe deliverance from captivity, sin or death.
Through Boaz’s action, family, inheritance and hope were renewed.
Boaz points us towards Christ, but the comparison is not perfect. Jesus Christ alone offers complete redemption from sin and death.
For each truth, choose whether it describes Boaz, Jesus Christ, or both in different ways.
Acted as a near relative under the law of Israel.
Willingly acted at personal cost to bring rescue and restoration.
Redeems all humanity from physical death.
Offers forgiveness, reconciliation with God and eternal life.
“The Lord God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.”Ruth 2:12
