RUTH
LOYAL LOVE
“The outsider whose loyalty wrote her into Jesus' family tree.”
MEET RUTH
A widow from Moab clung to her grieving mother-in-law: 'Where you go, I will go... your God shall be my God.' Her loyal love changed history.
THE STORY
Ruth gleaned leftover grain to feed Naomi, and God led her to the field of Boaz — a kinsman-redeemer who covered and married her. Their son was the grandfather of King David. Ruth the outsider is named in the family line of Jesus.
