On November 28th the movie will be following the book of Ruth. The Book of Ruth tells the story of a Moabite woman, Ruth, who marries an Israelite named Mahlon and becomes part of Naomi’s family. After Mahlon’s death, Ruth remains loyal to Naomi and her God, Yahweh, despite being a foreigner in a foreign land. Naomi returns to Bethlehem, and Ruth accompanies her, eventually marrying Boaz, a wealthy kinsman of Mahlon. Through Boaz, Ruth becomes the great-grandmother of King David and an ancestor of Jesus Christ.
Key themes in the book include:
- God’s sovereignty and providence, as He works out His plan despite human circumstances.
- Loyalty and devotion, as Ruth remains committed to Naomi and Yahweh despite adversity.
- Inclusion and redemption, as a foreigner (Ruth) becomes part of the Israelite family and lineage.
- The importance of everyday people and events in God’s larger story of redemption.
The Book of Ruth is a beautifully crafted narrative that explores these themes and showcases God’s care for all people, regardless of nationality or status.
