Rest Part 3


Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to Me. Get away with Me and you will recover your life. I will show you how to take a real rest.
Matthew 11: 28 Message

By Apostle Felix

Then Naomi her mother-in-law said unto her, my daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?
Ruth 3: 1

Ruth and Naomi lived in the time of judges, way before Israel had its first king. Boaz was the great grandfather of David. And Ruth, the Moabite was the great grandmother of David.

And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed, And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
Ruth 4: 21, 22

They lived in a world that is culturally very different from ours today. Their mode of communication is different from the manner we communicate today. The Bible was written in the culture and language of the writer. Naomi advising Ruth to go and uncover Boaz’ feet and lie down had significant cultural meaning in their time.

And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.
Ruth 3: 4

Considering Boaz’ response to Ruth’s gesture, we can therefore conclude that the lying down at Boaz’ feet had a significant meaning. Most likely, the gesture was to remind Boaz that he was a kinsman redeemer and supposed to do something about their predicament. Ruth found herself at the feet of Boaz, resting.

Immediately, Boaz went to work, and Ruth rested. Boaz was not angry with Ruth but promised her to grant her request as a kinsman redeemer. He later married Ruth, and she became the sole owner of the fields and properties. Boaz was a rich man, so Ruth became a rich woman overnight.

Jesus is our kinsman redeemer, who willingly decided to come and redeem us. He did all the work and has sat down. The work has been done, and the invitation is to come into His rest and allow Him to cover us with His love and mercy.
