Redemption Pictured - Part 1

In Ruth 4, Boaz becomes the redeemer of Ruth and Naomi.  In Boaz' redemption we see numerous parallels to the redeeming work of the Lord Jesus Christ.  In this message we examine three of these: (1) Redemption was prompted by need, (2) The redeemer had to be a close relative, and (3) the redeemer had to be willing to act.
