YOUNO PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP- 1
IO?The Secret ol Ruth's Noble Ufa
I. Ruth's Connection With Naomi
(Chapter X :1-I5). On ucconnt of farnl ue
In Bethlehem of Juduh, Naomi with her
husband and two sons sojourned la the
land of Moab. After the death of her
husband her two sons married Moablt
lab women. After a time her aooa died
also. After tbe death of her aona jl
Naomi resolved to return to her home- |
land, having heard that the Lord bad
viaited Ilia people In giving them
bread. They went to Moab to eacape
trouble but only got Into more. It
waa not until Naomi was thus chas
tised that she resolved to return. I
Naomi had the good sense to recognise
that the hand of the Lord waa upon
her for good. When the time cams
for her to go Ruth and Orpoh accom
panied her, for a distance. This she
permitted but determined to place be
fore them frankly the difficulties which
would necessarily confront them. It '
waa this frank presentation of the dlf- 1
Acuities and her repeated urging them
to go back that called forth from Ruth
the expression of her noble choice.
II. Ruth's Noble Choice (1:1?-18).
Much as Naomi loved her daughters-in
law, she would not have them go into
this matter blindly. She told them the
worst that could come upon them. This ;
principle ought to be carried oat hy us
In all our relations In life, la busi
ness the spirit of frankness phoold bo
?hhnlfesL At borne wo ^hoald deal
with each other In the most straight
forward way. The same thing ahoflld
characterise our behavior la the
church and society. Note the difficulty
which confronted Ruth:
1. No Chance to Marry Again.
Naomi told bar that she had no more
sons for whom she could wait b that
day to be unmarried was the greatest
disgrace. Society differed then from
now.
2. She Must Renounce Her Gods.
Her idolatrous worship could not bo
carried on in the land where Qod's
people dwelt This waa delicately
touched upon wbep .Orpah went beck
(?.45). Orpah went back when It waa
plain there was no chance to get n
husband. Now Naomi puts Vn addi
tional test upon Ruth, that of glTtng
up her religion. Ruth was equal to the ,
occasion. ~ Her mind was fully made
up. She was willing to accept as her
Qod the one who was able to produce
in his subjects the nobility of character
she had observed in Naomi Naomi's j
very frankness in dealing with her
caused Ruth to be more determined to
cast her lot with her. Ruth's position
was so definite and unfaltering that
the very expressions have come down
to us in words which "no poetry baa
out-rivaled, and no pathos has ex
ceeded, and which has gone through
centuries with the music that will not
let them ho forgotten." She was de
termined to share Naomi's Jonruag, her
home, bar lodge, her tat In life, and her ?
grave In death, whatever that would
be. To crown It all ahe would re
nounce her heathen gods and worship
Jehovah.
III. Btoaeinge Which Attended Ruth's
Faithfulness. Ruth was narar sorry
for her choice, because?
1. She Found the True God (1 :!#). j
Instead of her heathen gods who were
unable ta help her she now had a
living God, the God eg Israel, aa bar
God.
X She Found Human Friends.
(Chapter 2). Aa she went to (lean in
the field ahe was led to tho field at
Boas, a man at wealth and grace. The
servants of Boas treated her with con-,
?{deration. Even Boas gnvs instruc
tions far special consideration to bo
given bar.
8. A Good Husband and a Happy
Homo (8-4). She not only secured a
husband, but n man of God who bad
an abundance of this world's goods. .
4. An Honored Place In the Israel
ltlah Nation (4:18-17). Though sba
had to forsake her own people she bo
came one of a debtor people.
6. She Became a Link in the Chain
of Christ's Ancestry (4:18-22 com pars
Matthew 1:5). The one who fully de
cides for Christ and gives up all for
him shall gat a hundred-fold In this
Ufa and in the world to come, eternal
life.
