Preparing For Jesus | Ruth

When tragedy and sorrow strike, we often feel that God is far from us. We feel as if we’ve been abandoned. However, this Advent the story of Ruth reminds us that God offers hope to the hopeless. At the close of one of Scripture’s bleakest chapters, we get a glimpse of God’s mercy and faithfulness. The story of Ruth ultimately points us to what God has done for us through Christ our Redeemer. We have been brought from death to life, from despair to hope.
