波阿斯—救赎者的影儿



“妇人们对拿俄米说,耶和华是应当称颂的。因为今日没有撇下你使你无至近的亲属。” - 得 4:14

? 灵修


在以色列的每个宗族当中,家族的首领被称为至近的亲属,他们负责着家族的福祉。这个人要搭救、赎回、买回,或是修复任何因为贫困、战争或是死亡而迁出家庭的人或财产(利未记 25:25-55)。


波阿斯成为拿俄米这个家庭至近的亲属,他需要解决两个难题:一块地需要被买回(赎回),路得需要一个丈夫。波阿斯需要做些聪明的谈判,以及娶路得做妻子,但他都做得很成功,路得故事的结局很幸福。路得为拿俄米生了一个孙子,保存了她的姓氏。更重要的是,这些人都成了以色列伟大的大卫王的祖先——也是更伟大、世界之王耶稣基督的祖先。


当然,神是这个故事中真正至近的亲属。神差遣耶稣——路得和波阿斯的后裔——来为我们的自由付上赎价,使我们回到神的家里去,救我们脱离恶魔的威胁,并且赐给我们与祂同在的永恒之家。


神在这世上的工作总是有关救赎——总是更新,总是慈爱,总是福音。


? 祷告


信实的神,感谢祢来做我们的救赎主,修复我们,使我们回归祢的家。我们知道我们的救赎主活着!奉耶稣的名祷告。阿们。


普世佳音每日箴言

? Redeemer Boaz

"The women said to Naomi: 'Praise be to the Lord, who this day has not left you without a guardian-redeemer.'" — Ruth 4:14

? Devotion

In every clan in Israel the head of the family was considered the guardian-redeemer, responsible for the well-being of the family. This person was expected to rescue, ransom, buy back, recover, or redeem anyone or any property that was in danger of being removed from the family by poverty, war, or death (Leviticus 25:25-55).

Boaz became the guardian-redeemer for Naomi's family, and he was needed to fix two problems: a parcel of land had to be bought back (redeemed), and Ruth needed a husband. Boaz had to do some clever bargaining to redeem the land and marry Ruth, but he was successful, and the story of Ruth ended happily. Ruth gave birth to a grandson for Naomi to preserve her family name. What's more, these people became ancestors of Israel's great King David—and of an even greater king, the King of the world, Jesus Christ.

God, of course, is the real guardian-redeemer in this story. God sent Jesus—a descendent of Ruth and Boaz—to pay the redemption price for our freedom, to restore us to our home in God's family, to rescue us from the evil that threatens us, and to give us a permanent home with him.

God's work in the world is always about redemption; it is always renewing, always loving, always good news.

? Prayer

Faithful God, thank you for coming to be our Redeemer so that you could restore us to your family. We know that our Redeemer lives! In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
