In the Book of Ruth, Ruth typifies humanity’s lost inheritance and Boaz typifies the kinsman redeemer who must have the means to redeem and willingly pay the price of redemption. Jesus perfectly fulfilled the Old Testament Law and became the Living Word that broke the partition between humankind and God. That allowed God access once again to humanity without compromising His integrity and put the same life that raised Christ from the dead in us. It was not the perfect life of Christ that redeemed us, it was the perfect life of Christ that provided the price of redemption. To redeem us, He had to pay the price by voluntarily shedding His blood and dying on Calvary’s cross. Ruth. VF-0651. © Copyright 1989
