“So the redeemer said to Boaz, Buy it for yourself, and took off his shoe.”
Ruth 4:8 CJB
Taking off your shoe in times past meant you were serious about the transaction! Boaz, in a way, is a picture of what God did for us! He redeemed Ruth, a foreigner who was rejected and really homeless and gave her more than she imagined or maybe even deserved! The same goes for us. Yeshua removed Himself from His heavenly throne to come and redeem us and give us a new home and life with Him!
“In My Father’s house are many places to live. If there weren’t, I would have told you; because I am going there to prepare a place for you.”
John 14:2 CJB
So don’t get caught up in the difficulties of the world, but look forward to being with Adonai, who is our redeemer!
“Since I am going and preparing a place for you, I will return to take you with Me; so that where I am, you may be also.”
John 14:3 CJB
What good news to hear that the Creator of the Universe is going and preparing a place for us so we can spend all eternity with Him! He is redeeming us for Himself!
“But I know that my Redeemer lives, that in the end He will rise on the dust; so that after my skin has been thus destroyed, then even without my flesh, I will see God.”
Job 19:25-26 CJB
Understand there is nothing this world can throw against us that can separate us from Adonai. When things get tough, realize we’ve been redeemed by Adonai!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!
