JESUS IS YOUR REDEEMER

“And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman. And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I.” Ruth 3:11-12 (KJV)

You will discover that from the time Boaz said to Ruth, “I will do to thee all…”; he literally took it on himself and began to speak for her. Boaz did everything for her; to the point that he got to marry her. It was not even his turn to marry her. Boaz said, there is somebody closer to you than me, let’s tell him, if he refuses, I will step in. The man refused, and Boaz stepped in. Why? Boaz was close to her and Boaz was rich. So, Ruth was redeemed.

Similarly, Jesus came down and identified with you as a man. So, He feels what you feel. And not only that, He willingly laid down His life. Jesus was not killed! He laid down His life. He paid the supreme and ultimate price with His life. You were redeemed by the blood of Jesus.

The book of Galatians 3:13 declares that “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us…” He has redeemed you.  The book of Ephesians 1:7 says: “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace”. You see, we already have it. You have been bought back. How dare you look down on yourself. You are so precious that He paid the supreme price.

If you read the book of Matthew 1:5, you will find that Ruth got married to Boaz and they gave birth to Obed. Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David and down to the lineage of Jesus Christ; our Kinsman Redeemer. Jesus is your Kinsman Redeemer. When you fall at his feet, He takes over your problems and difficulties.
