TRUST PLATFORM

Several years ago I went with a group of men to an obstacle course in Northport. Some people call these a ''ropes'' course. The goal is for your group to move through a series of obstacles as you build trust and a spirit of teamwork. For me the most challenging obstacle is the ''trust'' platform. At this obstacle, each person must take turns climbing up to a platform that is located 5 or 6 feet above ground level. Once you get on the platform, you are to fold your arms, turn your back, and fall from the platform into the waiting arms of your friends. That requires a great deal of trust. That is what occurs in healthy relationships. We trust the other person with our lives.

Ruth is in need of a redeemer and she realizes that Boaz is in line to redeem her, but is he willing to redeem, is he capable of redeeming, and if he is willing and capable, will Ruth trust him?

Salvation is free, but it is not cheap. Jesus Christ was willing to redeem mankind, he was capable of redeeming mankind, but many are not being redeemed because they are not willing to trust in Christ's redemptive power.

In our story today we are going to see that Ruth is directed to the very place where her redeemer was located. There is a song that proposes this question:

Are You Washed In The Blood?

Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power?
Are you washed in the blood of the lamb?
Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour?
Are you washed in the blood of the lamb?

The only way to be redeemed is to trust in the redeemer's redemptive work.
