Ruth 2:11-17, Ruth 4:13-17; Matthew 1:1-6; 16
Ruth is the third mother in the Gospel of Matthew’s genealogy of Jesus. The book of Ruth is set in the time of the Judges. A dark time for the people of Israel. This time period in the life of the Israelites begs the question, “Where will our help come from?” Ruth shows us the hesed love of God for his people.
