【Ruth 4:10】

「"Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon,

　I have acquired as my wife,

　to perpetuate the name of the dead through his inheritance,

　that the name of the dead may not be cut off

　from among his brethren and from his position at the gate.

　You are witnesses this day."」　　Amen.

　The Book of Ruth begins with famine, wandering, three deaths, and desolate landscapes, yet it concludes with a hymn celebrating a blessed marriage. And Ruth's name is inscribed in the genealogy of our Savior, Jesus Christ.“Mat 1:5 Salmon begot Boaz by Rahab, Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, Obed begot Jesse,”“Mat1:16 And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ.”

　May we give thanks to our Savior Jesus Christ today as well...

God bless you.   See you tomorrow.
