Ruth and the Kinsman Redeemer

The Old Testament is the New Testament Concealed. The New Testament is the Old Testament Revealed.
The Book of Ruth takes place at the time of Judges & after all the violence in Judges, is a breath of fresh air about love & redemption.  Ruth , a Moabite, a member of a nation that is an enemy of Israel, makes a monumental choice ( Ruth 1:16) to follow the true God & becomes part of the Christ line.  Boaz, the Kinsman Redeemer, her husband, is a figure for Jesus, who fulfilled the law & was OUR savior who paid the price for our freedom. 1 Peter 1:18, 19.
