Ruth 3:1-6
Ruth 3:1-6
Ever since Boaz has entered the narrative, Naomi is a changed person. No longer is she consumed with the bitterness of her experience. She is now focused on the sovereignty and faithfulness of God. Naomi is now able to focus on Ruth and not herself.Naomi is a woman of great faith. She now determines in accordance with the word of God that she will develop a plan for Ruth allowing her to present herself as a bride to Boaz, their kinsman redeemer. The plan is a simple, biblically based plan. It is a plan that will ultimately lead Ruth to the feet of her kinsman redeemer. The true gospel of Jesus Christ according to the scriptures will bring a lost sinner to the foot of the cross. A person will never know redemption until they first come to the foot of the cross.This passage, as you will see, is filled with treasures of Christ. As we dig into these verses, be amazed and encouraged at how clearly the gospel of Jesus Christ is on display.

Chapter 3
1
Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?
2
And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.
3
Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking.
4
And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.
5
And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do.
6
And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her.
