The second of two sermons on the theme of the Redeemer in the Book of Ruth - Boaz a type of the Lord Jesus.
'And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi. Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day.' Ruth 4:9-10
Boaz took care of every aspect of Ruth's redemption, ensuring that the law was followed properly and that the nearer kinsman had renounced his claim before witnesses. What the nearer kinsman could not do for Ruth, Boaz then did do. This again points us to the Lord Jesus Christ who did for his people what the law could not do (Romans 8:3).
