Ruth, Boaz And Redemption Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 7, 2024

So why is it so important that we have a book of the Bible named Ruth? Because of the redemption story. It parallels our own redemption story. Ruth was cursed as a Moabite. We are cursed as children of Adam.

"Jesus, The Replacement For The Temple”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Mar 3, 2021

John places this historical moment in the life of Jesus not during Holy Week, as in Matthew, Mark and Luke. Why? Jesus is proclaiming that He is God’s touchstone on earth, no longer the stone altar of sacrifice. Jesus is replacing the “holy of holies”. He is replacing the Jerusalem temple.
