Ruth 3:9
By Chuck Smith0LEV 25:25RUT 3:9MAT 13:44HEB 2:14Chuck Smith explores the concept of 'Goel,' or kinsman redeemer, emphasizing the biblical laws of redemption that allow a family member to reclaim lost land or responsibilities. He illustrates this through Naomi's story, where Boaz steps in as the kinsman redeemer to save Ruth and their family line. Smith draws parallels to Jesus, who fulfills the role of our Goel by willingly and able to redeem humanity through His sacrifice. The sermon highlights the importance of redemption in both personal and spiritual contexts, showing how Jesus' love and commitment to us mirrors Boaz's actions. Ultimately, it emphasizes that Jesus is our Goel, who redeems us from spiritual bankruptcy.
The Kinsman Redeemer
By G.W. North0RUT 4:1G.W. North explores the concept of the Kinsman Redeemer, emphasizing the multifaceted nature of redemption as presented in both the Old and New Testaments. He highlights that redemption involves purchase, liberation, and a deep relational aspect, particularly illustrated through the story of Ruth and Boaz. North explains that Jesus fulfills the role of the ultimate Kinsman Redeemer, being both a blood-relative and the divine Son of God, thus able to redeem all of humanity. The sermon underscores the significance of Jesus' birth and life as a testament to God's redemptive plan, culminating in the fulfillment of the law and the promise of salvation. Ultimately, North encourages believers to recognize the profound blessings of being redeemed in Christ, far surpassing the earthly blessings experienced by Ruth.
