0523 耶稣是我们近亲的买赎者

妇人们对拿俄米说:“耶和华是应当称颂的!因为今日没有撇下你,使你无至近的亲属。愿这孩子在以色列中得名声。”

路得记 4:14

耶稣是我们近亲的买赎者。因着波阿斯的爱和怜悯,凄凉的寡妇拿俄米和被鄙视的摩押女子路得,她们被拯救和重建了。耶稣来自那个联合,并且是我们近亲的买赎者。祂与谦卑来到祂那里被鄙视的外邦人结合,并且使所有仰望祂的孤独以色列人的心欢喜。祂说……

我的爱燃烧着,而受造之物在劳苦中呻吟,直到犹太人和外邦人都进入我新娘的寝宫。我多么渴望向我自己的子民犹太人表达我的爱啊!你要祷告让我对他们的爱被你表达出来……

0523 JESUS is our KINSMAN REDEEMER

JESUS is our KINSMAN REDEEMER.  Through the love and compassion of Boaz, Naomi, the desolate widow, and Ruth, the despised Moabitess, were rescued and restored.  Jesus came from that union and is our Kinsman Redeemer.  He marries the despised Gentiles who come humbly to Him and He gladdens the heart of all the desolate of Israel who look to Him.  He says…

My love burns and the creation groans in travail until both Jew and Gentile come into My bridal chamber.  How I long to express My love to My own people, the Jews.  Pray that My love for them be expressed through you…

“Then the women said to Naomi, ‘Blessed is the Lord who has not left you without a redeemer today, and may his name become famous in Israel.’”

Ruth 4:14
