Ruth 2:19-20 ESV
And her mother- in- law said to her, “Where did you glean today? And where have you worked? Blessed be the man who took notice of you.” So she told her mother- in- law with whom she had worked and said, “The man's name with whom I worked today is Boaz.” And Naomi said to her daughter- in- law, “May he be blessed by the Lord, whose kindness has not forsaken the living or the dead!” Naomi also said to her, “The man is a close relative of ours, one of our redeemers.”
In this story we are shown a parable of the inclusion of the Gentiles in the kingdom of God. Boaz represents Jesus who redeems the the dead and provides life of the truly living.
He is blessed by The Lord and shows us the mercy of The Lord. He came as one of us and is our close relative. He returned to heaven to wait as we journey through this land to glean the fields of His righteousness. He blazed a trail and made a way for us to follow. This is the way that leads to Him, God Almighty.
