Ruth is one of my favorite books. I love the love story of Ruth and Boaz. He is a type of Christ. It says in 4:15, "He shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life and a nourisher of thine old age." Boaz restored her, a true example of Christ. He redeems Ruth, and takes her as his wife. It says that she is a virtuous woman (3:11). She is also a servant, "All that thou sayest unto me I will do (3:5). When God leads, amazing things can happen. Simply put, if you look at Boaz' genealogy, Obed had a son, Jesse who had a son, David. King David! Directly in the line of Christ.
Both Boaz and Ruth were lead of God in various ways. They listened to God, and now they can say they were part of the lineage of Christ.
