True Love Is Trusting Love (3 of 4)
Steve Jones
Ruth 3
INTRO:
A defense attorney was cross-examining a police officer during a felony trial. It went like this:
Q: Officer, did you see my client fleeing the scene?
A: No sir, but I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender running several blocks away.
Q: Officer, who provided this description?
A: The officer who responded to the scene.
Q: A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers?

A: Yes sir, we do.
Q: And do you have a locker in that room?
A: Yes sir, I do.
Q: And do you have a lock on your locker?
A: Yes sir.
Q: Now why is it, officer, IF YOU TRUST YOUR FELLOW OFFICERS WITH YOUR LIFE, that you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with those officers?
A: You see sir, we share the building with a court complex, and sometimes defense attorneys have been known to walk through.
Today I want to talk about trust. More specifically the relationship of trust to love. Do we trust the ones we love? Can we trust the ones we love? Is love really love if there is no trust?

Now, in Ruth chapter three, we come to understand that true love is trusting love. Ruth demonstrates trusting love in three ways.
