Just as God did for Naomi, he provides for us a Redeemer who nourishes us by his faithful loving kindness as he works out the plan for our lives and our part in the proclamation of his gospel.

Christ showed the ultimate authority and vulnerability to redeem/restore humanity back to its place of flourishing under/through a relationship with God.

In Chapter 2, both Ruth and Boaz emerge as people of extraordinary character — people whose ḥeseḏ love is to be encouraged and emulated amongst God’s people.

Ruth’s character emulates Abraham and foreshadows Jesus. Her hesed love toward Naomi is the same hesed love God has for us and calls us to have towards him and his people.
