Ruth 2:18-23

Unique or unusually favorable circumstances are often more than

(vv.18-19).

• God’s providence is at work displaying

in order to reveal Himself.

• Some

God’s fingerprints while others don’t.

God uses his kindness to introduce us to our kinsman-

(19b-20).

• The kinsman-redeemer played a

in Ruth’s day.

• The kinsman-redeemer role is just as critical for

.

Only Jesus Christ qualifies, is capable, and is willing to pay the role of our redeemer:

  1. He qualifies because He is related to us by (Heb. 2:14).
  2. He qualifies because he is to redeem us (2 Cor. 8:9).
  3. He qualifies because he is (Mk. 10:45).
  4. He qualifies because he actually did (Eph. 1:7).

REMEMBER: It’s

a coincidence that you are here today hearing this message. Open your heart to your redeemer.
