- The fact that this little book of Ruth takes place in the time of Judges is extremely encouraging. In the midst of all that mess, when the people had no king and did whatever was right in their own eyes (Judges 21:25), God was preparing the way for a king (Ruth 4:17; Ruth 4:22) who would prepare the way for THE KING - Jesus!
- As we concluded the book of Judges, we saw variations of these phrases, "In those days there was no king in Israel" and " Everyone did what was right in his own eyes." And the final stories put an exclamation mark on that. These are not pretty scenes. But there is anticipation and a hope for a good king to rule. May we have a greater expectation of the Greatest King (Jesus) to rule in a day when it seems like everyone is doing what is right in his own eyes.
- I’m glad you spoke to this, Matt. The whole reading is just disturbing. Thankful for Jesus.
- Amen and thanks
- You are absolutely correct! Thanks for pointing that out! only a great teacher would pick up on that!🤩
- I just remembered that Pastor Matt called it the Torah in one of his messages!
- As we are reading about the priests under the old covenant, keep in mind at least two things: (1) these pictures of the priests (their job and clothes) are shadows of our great high priest - Jesus Christ! (Exodus 28:12; Exodus 28:30) and (2) the church is a royal priesthood who is to be "Holy to the LORD" (Exodus 39:30; cf 1 Peter 2:9).
