“Redemption” relates to second
chances. It is about restoration and putting things back the way they are
supposed to be. In the Old Testament, redemption applied particularly to
debt and to broken patterns of inheritance. In the New Testament, Christ
redeems all sinners (including us) from our fate by paying our debts on the
cross and substituting our rightful inheritance of death for the gracious
inheritance of eternal life. This lesson explores redemption in the Book
of Ruth. It is both a beautiful story of human kindness and love and also
a prophesy of the mission and meaning of Jesus.
