REDEEMING RUTH 3 Ptr. Henry Brown 7:00AM Tagalog Service

2. REDEEMING RUTH #3
Kamay ng Diyos sa
ating pagpapala

3. Ruth 2:14-23
14 Nang dumating ang oras ng pagkain, tinawag ni
Boaz si Ruth, "Halika rito. Kumuha ka ng tinapay at
isawsaw mo sa sarsa." Kaya't umupo na siyang
kasama ng mga manggagawa, at binigyan siya ni
Boaz ng inihaw na sebada. Kumain naman si Ruth
hanggang sa mabusog. May natira pa sa pagkaing
ibinigay sa kanya.

4. 15 Nang ipagpatuloy niya ang pamumulot,
pinagbilinan ni Boaz ang mga manggagawa,
"Hayaan ninyo siyang mamulot kahit sa tabi ng
mga binigkis na uhay. Huwag ninyo siyang
babawalan. 16 Maglaglag kayo ng mga uhay mula
sa binigkis para may mapulot siya."

5. +
17 Si Ruth ay namulot hanggang gabi, at pagkatapos
ay giniik niya ang kanyang napulot. Halos limang
salop na sebada ang nakuha niya. 18Umuwi si Ruth
at ipinakita sa kanyang biyenan ang naipong sebada,
at ibinigay pa niya sa matanda ang lumabis niyang
pagkain.

6. 19 Nagtanong si Naomi, "Saang bukid ka ba namulot
ngayon? Pagpalain nawa ng Diyos ang taong
nagmagandang-loob sa iyo!" At ikinuwento ni Ruth ang
nangyari sa kanya sa bukid ni Boaz. 20Kaya't sinabi ni
Naomi, "Pagpalain nawa siya ni Yahweh na hindi
nakakalimot sa kanyang pangako sa mga buhay at sa mga
patay." Idinugtong pa niya, "Malapit nating kamag-anak ang
taong iyon, isa sa mga may tungkuling mangalaga sa naiwan
ng mga yumao."

7. 21 Nagpatuloy ng pagsasalaysay si Ruth, "Sinabi pa
niyang magpatuloy akong mamulot sa kanyang bukid
hanggang sa matapos ang anihan niya."
22 Sumagot si Naomi, "Oo nga, anak. Baka
mapahamak ka lamang kung sa ibang bukid ka pupunta.
Mabuti ngang manatili kang kasama ng kanyang mga
manggagawang babae." 23Ganoon nga ang nangyari.
Namulot si Ruth kasama ng mga gumagapas sa bukid ni
Boaz, hanggang sa maaning lahat ang trigo at ang
sebada. At namuhay siya sa piling ng kanyang biyenan.

8. •28 Alam natin na ang lahat ng mga bagay ay
magkakalakip-lakip na gumagawa para sa
kabutihan nila na mga umiibig sa Diyos, sa kanila
na mga tinawag ng Diyos ayon sa kaniyang
layunin.

9. • And here we are right now going
forward doing good for His kingdom,
upgraded and updated.

10. • So the first thing we see in this chapter is
A NEW WORD ON NAOMI’S LIPS.

11. II. Pangalawa, nakakakita tayo ng
Bagong Pag-asa sa puso ni Noemi.

12. 20At sinabi ni Noemi sa kaniyang manugang: Pagpalain nawa siya
ng Panginoon, na hindi ikinait ang kaniyang kagandahang loob sa
mga buhay at sa mga patay. At sinabi ni Noemi sa kaniya, Ang
lalaking yaon ay isa sa mga kamaganak na malapit natin, isang
pinakamalapit na kamaganak natin.
21At sinabi ni Ruth na Moabita, Oo, sinabi niya sa akin, Ikaw ay
sumunod na malapit sa aking mga bataan hanggang sa kanilang
matapos ang aking ani.
22At sinabi ni Noemi kay Ruth na kaniyang manugang, Mabuti,
anak ko, na ikaw ay lumabas na kasama ng kaniyang mga alila, at
huwag kang masumpungan sa ibang bukid.

13. Naomi and Ruth had three reasons to
be encouraged andhopeful:

14. • Mayroong tatlong dahilan sina Noemi
at Ruth para mabuhayan at magkaroon
ng Pag-asa

15. Mayroong tatlong dahilan sina Noemi at
Ruth para mabuhayan at magkaroon ng
Pag-asa Dahil sa kung sino si Boaz.

16. Boaz was their kinsman (which means “relative”).
Thirteen times in the Book of Ruth you find references
to the kinsman. This relates to Mosaic laws of the
kinsman-redeemer found in two places in the Law,
which I’ll simply summarize for you so you don’t have
to turn to them:

17. Let me explain to you what a
REDEEMER does:

18. First the law relating to the
kinsman-redeemer is found in
Leviticus 25.

19. In this passage states that if a Jew became
bankrupt or poor beyond the ability to
survive and had to sell his property (as
Elimelech, Naomi’s husband, had done) or
had to sell himself into servitude,

20. one of his kinsmen (or relatives) could redeem him (which
means “to buy back”); that is, essentially pay off the debt. If the
kinsman paid the price, the new owner had no choice but to sell
back the lost property to the kinsman-redeemer, or to release
the servant from his servitude.

21. • The second law relating to the
kinsman-redeemer is found in
Deuteronomy 25:5-10 and dealt with
marriage.

22. This law said that if a man died, his brother
should marry the widow and raise the firstborn
child in the name of the dead brother if he was
able and willing to do it. The kinsman was also
required to maintain the deceased man’s
inheritance until the child was old enough to
receive it.

23. So Naomi saw both laws combined in Boaz, their
kinsman: and Boaz could marry Ruth according to the
law in Deuteronomy 25, giving Ruth and Naomi
someone to provide for them…and He could also
redeem Elimelech’s property, thus fulfilling the law in
Leviticus 25.

24. In Leviticus 25, a redeemer has two
primary functions: TO REDEEM PEOPLE
AND PROPERTY.

25. II. So Naomi and Ruth had a new hope
because of WHO BOAZ WAS. They now had
the promise of a redeemer.

26. Mayroong tatlong dahilan sina Noemi at Ruth
para mabuhayan at magkaroon ng Pag-asa Dahil
sa ginawa ni Boaz.

27. What did he do?—He took a personal interest in
Ruth. Out of all the people working in his field, he
took particular notice of Ruth and spoke to her. But
more than that, he protected her, and provided
generously for her by telling the reapers to drop
some handfuls of grain for her on purpose to glean.

28. When Naomi saw all the grain that Ruth
had gathered, she was amazed. She
knew that someone had been extra kind
to Ruth.

29. Then she found out that it was Boaz who
had helped Ruth, and she realized that he
could do much more for them.

30. EPHAH is somewhere between
maybe 30 and 50 pounds that she has
obtained through her one day’s labor.

31. It was the equivalent, perhaps, of two
weeks wages for the average worker.

32. It was the equivalent, perhaps, of two
weeks wages for the average worker.

33. 3) Naomi and Ruth had the reasons to be
encouraged and hopeful because of WHAT
BOAZ SAID.

34. Mayroong tatlong dahilan sina Noemi at Ruth
para mabuhayan at magkaroon ng Pag-asa Dahil
sa sinabi ni Boaz.

35. Look at verse 21 – “And Ruth the Moabitess
said, He said unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast
by my young men, until they have ended all my
harvest.” (Note that little phrase at the end of
that verse: “…until they have ended all my
harvest.”

36. 21At sinabi ni Ruth na Moabita, Oo, sinabi niya
sa akin, Ikaw ay sumunod na malapit sa aking
mga bataan hanggang sa kanilang matapos ang
aking ani.

37. I believe that Boaz was saying to her, “At the end of
the harvest, something special is going to happen. Stay
in my field until the harvest is over. My men will
protect you.” I think Boaz had some special plans in
mind at the end of the harvest. Ruth recalled his
words, and she and Naomi were encouraged by them.

38. Ngayon, Bilang mga mananampalataya,
mayroon tayong parehong lakas at pag-
asa na nakay Hesus

39. • SCRIPTURE is TRUE,
• It is ULTIMATELY INSPIRED OF GOD through
human authors,
• It is PERFECT,
• It is HOW GOD HAS CHOSEN TO REVEAL
HIMSELF TO US MOST CLEARLY.

40. Una, mayroon tayong pag-asa sa puso
dahil kay Hesus

41. Jesus is our Redeemer.

42. Let me explain to you what a REDEEMER does.
In Leviticus 25, a redeemer has two primary
functions: TO REDEEM PEOPLE AND PROPERTY.

43. The redeemer was the one who would come in and
say, “I’ll pay off the debt to redeem the person from
slavery,” or “I’ll pay off the note on the land and the
farm to keep it in the family and to bring it back to
the family who desperately needs it.”

44. The redeemer was the one who fixed
everything. The redeemer was the one
who was wise and successful, and who
God had blessed so that they could bless
others and do works of hassed.

45. HASSED.
It’s a very important word here, translated kindness, or loving
kindness. It’s all of the wonderful attributes of God, the love,
grace, mercy, patience, kindness, long-suffering, provision of
God.
In Galatians, it’s called the Fruit of the Spirit, love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, self control. It’s this
hassed of God.

46. He has purchased us from the slave
market of sin and paid our debt for us.

47. 1 Pedro 1:18-19
18 Nalalaman ninyong tinubos kayo mula sa walang
kabuluhang paraan ng pamumuhay na minana ninyo sa
inyong mga ninuno. Ang ipinangtubos sa inyo ay hindi
nasisirang mga bagay na gaya ng pilak at ginto. 19 Subalit
ang ipinangtubos sa inyo ay ang mahalagang dugo ni
Cristo. Siya ay tulad ng isang korderong walang
kapintasan at walang dungis.

48. That’s what is says in the New Testament.

49. Jesus is our redeemer, that we belong to Satan
and sin and death and we’re bound for hell, and
like Ruth, we’re in a terrible predicament, and
that Jesus has given this gracious gift of
himself.

50. Pangalawa, tayong mga mananampalataya ay
mayroong pag-asa dahil sa ginawa ni Hesus.

51. What did Jesus do for us?—Oh, my, where
do we begin?

52. He died for our sins; He gave us a new life with
fulfillment and purpose;

53. He gave us eternal life;

54. He gave us the Word of God to guide
our lives;

55. He gave us a spiritual family in the
church.

56. He gave us the greatest gift of all—His precious
Holy Spirit to empower, encourage, convict, and
guide us.

57. THAT’S WHY HASSED.=
It’s a very important word here in series REDEEMING
RUTH- translated kindness, or loving kindness. It’s all of
the wonderful attributes of God, the love, grace, mercy,
patience, kindness, long-suffering, provision of God. In
Galatians, it’s called the Fruit of the Spirit, love, joy,
peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, self
control. It’s this hassed of God.

58. #• Third, we can have hope as believers because of
WHAT JESUS SAID:

59. Jesus has said many wonderful things that give
us hope, such as…

60. Juan 14:2-3
2 Sa bahay ng aking Ama ay maraming tirahan. Kung
hindi gayon ay sinabi ko sana sa inyo. Ako ay paroroon
upang maghanda ng dako para sa inyo. 3 Kapag ako ay
pumaroon at makapaghanda ng dako para sa inyo, ako
ay muling babalik. Kayo ay aking tatanggapin sa aking
sarili upang kung saan ako naroon ay dumuon din kayo.

61. Juan 10:27-29
27 Dinirinig ng aking mga tupa ang aking tinig. Kilala ko sila
at sumusunod sila sa akin. 28 Binibigyan ko sila ng buhay na
walang hanggan. Hindi sila malilipol magpakailanman.
Walang sinumang makakaagaw sa kanila sa aking
kamay.29 Ibinigay sila sa akin ng aking Ama. Siya ay higit na
dakila sa lahat. Walang makakaagaw sa kanila mula sa
kamay ng aking Ama.

62. We don’t have enough time tonight to
share all Jesus’s blessed words of hope.

63. Pangatlo, mayroon tayong pag-asa bilang
mga mananampalataya dahil sa sinabi ni
Hesus.

64. 23Sa gayo'y nakipisang maliksi na
kasiping ng mga alila ni Booz, upang
mamulot hanggang sa katapusan ng
pagaani ng sebada at pagaani ng trigo;
at siya'y tumahang kasama ng kaniyang
biyanan.

65. Ruth didn’t sit around twiddling her thumbs waiting to
see what Boaz would do.
She went right back to the field and labored right on
through the barley harvest and the wheat harvest.

66. But I believe she returned to the field with a new
attitude and a new purpose because the situation was
different.

67. Now she knew the lord of the harvest! Ruth was now
more than just a laborer in the field. She had the special
care and attention of the lord of the harvest. He spoke to
her and invited her to his table to eat.

68. He cared for her and had plans for her in the future.
Ruth’s labor was not the dismal labor of a slave; it was a
joyful labor of someone who had great expectations.

69. we should follow Ruth’s example as we serve in our field
of service for God with a heart of love and gratefulness:

70. In verse 2 she said,
“Let me now go to the field.” – May God help us to work
for the Lord with such willingness to be used!

71. Look at verse 17 – “So she gleaned in the field until
even,…” She made good use of the time she had to
work.

72. Jesus said in (Jn. 9:4) “The night cometh when no man
can work.

73. We cannot be sure of any time except NOW! to work for
God.
We must do all we can while there is still time.

74. Juan 9:4
4 Kinakailangang gawin ko ang mga gawa niya na
nagsugo sa akin habang araw pa. Dumarating ang
gabi at wala nang makakagawa.

75. CONCLUSION:

76. So we see these three new exciting things in
Ruth’s and Naomi’s lives:

77. • A new word on Naomi’s lips – “Blessed”
• A new hope in Naomi’s heart because of who
Boaz WAS (her redeemer), what Boaz DID (he
protected her and provided for her) and what
Boaz SAID (“Stay and work…and we’ll see what
happens…”).
• And finally, a new motive in Ruth’s service—
Hope.

78. You men, aspire to be like Boaz. Get your affairs in order. Treat
all women as sisters. Be generous, like Jesus. Humble, as well.
You ladies, Ruth, great example. Walk with God and his
people. Build your friendships. Listen to older ladies. Walk
with younger ladies who love the Lord. Live a life of holiness.
Work in your job. Walk in your faith, staying in the place that
God blesses, trusting that he can and he will, ‘cause he’s
sovereign and good. That’s what it means to be the God of
providence.

79. He doesn’t owe us anything, as Boaz owes Ruth nothing.
But he lives without sin, he dies for sin. He gives us his
own death, burial, resurrection, as a gift. He has favor on
us. And like Ruth received the gift from Boaz, we must
receive the gift of salvation from the Lord Jesus Christ.
And he is the God of hassed, the God of Ruth, the God of
Naomi, the God of Boaz is Jesus Christ. And he is the
loving, gracious, merciful, kind God of hassed.

80. you’re bitter and your world is crumbling, fix your eyes
on Jesus, the Lord of the Harvest. He is your Boaz, your
mighty man of wealth, Consider all He IS to you; all He
has DONE for you; and all He has SAID to you in His
Word. If we will just keep our eyes on the Lord Jesus and
do our work the way He wants us to do it, before long
we will be saying with David,

81. Psalm 103:1
“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is
within me, bless His holy name!”
