    Ruth - An Outsider Welcomed In Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Dec 1, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,454 views

    Logically Ruth should not be in the genealogy of Jesus. As a Moabite she is from a despised nation and the only person seeking to be an example to her is Naomi - a woman who is bitter and angry at God. Yet God moves in mysterious ways to include Ruth.

    God shatters dreams which leave us short of full joy even if fully satisfied.

    Scripture Introduction In literature, a tragedy ends with a negative or sad outcome, a comedy with a happy one. Macbeth is a tragedy; Much Ado About Nothing, a comedy.

C.), which were not the best years for Israel. ...read more

    The opening scene of the book is tragic for we find three graves in Moab. Let’s notice the story behind these 3 graves.

Heslop writes, “The book of Ruth consists of less than 100 verses, and yet it would be impossible to exhaust it ...read more
