I'm Going That Way
Steve Wagers
Ruth 1:16
Matthew Henry's fiancé - ''I don't know where he's from, but I know where he's going, and I want to go with him.''
Ruth - ROMANCE of REDEMPTION
God took an ISRAELITE to redeem a MOABITE to demonstrate that Salvation's plan is DYNAMITE
3 WINDOWS
1) FAMINE (1;1-2)
2) FUNERAL (1:3-5)
3) FAILURE (1:20-21)
Goes out FULL/Comes back EMPTY
Goes out BLESSED/Comes back BITTER
Naomi got out of Moab, but Moab never got out of Naomi
3 WIDOWS
1) Naomi - GRIEVING Widow (1:13)
2) Orpah - LEAVING Widow (1:15)
3) Ruth - CLEAVING Widow (1:16)
Ruth said, ''If you're going, then I'm going with you. I'm going that way!''
1) A Way BACK to a FEAST!
Ruth chose:
A) PATH - WAY of God
''whither thou goest, I will go.''
B) PLACE - CITY of God
''where thou lodgest, I will lodge.''
C) PEOPLE - FAMILY of God
''thy people shall be my people''
D) PLAN - WILL of God
''thy God, my God.''
(1) Bethlehemjudah - ''House of the Lord's Bread''
(6) HEARD that the House of Bread was OPEN for BUSINESS
I well remember day that I heard. I got a new PATH, headed toward a new PLACE, with a new PEOPLE, governed by a new PLAN.
I'm going that way BACK TO A FEAST!
2) A Way Back THROUGH in a FIELD!
Moabite - Descendant of Lot (Pagan)
Gentile is accepted in a Jewish field
ADOPTION OF GRACE (Romans 9-11) ''Graffed into the vine''
A) Grace SOUGHT Her OUT (2:3-5)
''HAP'' - Some would think it COINCIDENCE - PROVIDENCE
She didn't find Boaz; Boaz found her
We weren't looking for God; but He came looking for us
B) Grace CAUGHT Her UP (2:14-17)
Ruth was NOT a REAPER. She was a GLEANER
(Gleaners came behind the reapers to gather up remains)
Reapers gather handful and bring it as a WAVE offering before Lord
One day, Boaz instructed the reapers to drop HANDFULS OF PURPOSE so that Ruth could GLEAN - Now Ruth has a WAVE OFFERING of THANKSGIVING!
EPHAH - 3-5 gallons (10X more than Israel got of manna)
