AI OVERVIEW: Redemption is the central theme of Ruth, and the narrative tracks how individuals are restored through a near relative who can redeem not only land but family. Ruth represents us, the church, while Boaz portrays Jesus, a steadfast rescuer, and the Holy Spirit acts as the unseen matchmaker guiding Ruth toward Boaz and thus toward the Redeemer. Ruth’s gleaning in Boaz’s field, the blessing of handfuls of purpose, and Boaz’s invitation to eat bread and drink wine foreshadow communion, grace, and access to God through faith. These scenes emphasize trust in God amid hardship and the liberating truth that grace cannot be earned but received.
