背经节(12分钟)

孩子们，不要让人迷惑你们，行义的人才是义的，正如祂是义的一样。- 约翰一书 3:7

让孩子们在自己的圣经中找到这节经文，大声读几遍。然后闭上眼睛尝试背诵。和孩子们讨论这节经文的含义。

故事与讨论(15分钟)

介绍：

由于波阿斯的慷慨，路得能够收集到足够的粮食，足以让她和她的婆婆吃得很好。但拿俄米仍然有些担忧。路得还年轻，她不仅仅需要粮食，更需要一个丈夫、一个家，属于自己的家。所以她鼓励路得再次去找波阿斯，但这次不是为了收集麦子，而是为了提出一个非常特别的请求。

路得记 3:1-18（波阿斯同意娶路得）

用带感情的语气为孩子们朗读这段经文。如果可以的话，为不同角色用不同的声音。

讨论问题：

路得如何准备自己去见波阿斯？（她洗澡、抹香膏，穿上最好的衣服）
路得是如何让波阿斯知道她在那里的？（半夜揭开了他的脚盖）
路得因为波阿斯是至亲救赎者，请求他做什么？（用衣襟遮盖她）
波阿斯为何对路得感到高兴？（她没有追求年轻人）
波阿斯答应了路得的请求。她的请求是什么？（希望波阿斯赎回或娶她）
波阿斯如何表现出他是一个负责任的人？（他尊重路得并同意作为丈夫照顾她）
为什么负责任和行义可以荣耀主？（让孩子们自由回答）

课堂活动(20分钟)

故事 | 比赛

应用(4分钟)

责任并非与生俱来，而是需要在生活中不断学习和实践。责任感会影响我们的感受、思想和行为。负责任的人会做正确的事情，即使没有人看着。波阿斯就是一个负责任的好榜样。尽管他是路得的亲戚，但不是近亲，因此他并没有义务娶路得。然而，波阿斯还是同意娶她，因为那是正确的事情。他不仅喜欢路得，还想给予她因信靠神而应得的安全感。波阿斯通过对路得表现出的尊重和怜悯，以及自己正直的行为，做了正确的事情。在神眼中，路得和波阿斯是彼此完美的伴侣。

下节课

下周回来看看波阿斯做的一件奇妙事情，如何与我们的主所做的一件奇妙事情相似。

MEMORY WORK (12 minutes)

"Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous." 1 John 3:7 NIV

Have the kids find this verse in their Bibles, and read it several times out loud. Have them close their eyes and try to say the verse again. Discuss the meaning of this verse with the children.

SCRIPTURE READING AND DISCUSSION (15 minutes)

Introduction:Because of the generosity of Boaz, Ruth was able to gather plenty of grain for her and her mother-in-law to eat quite well. But Naomi was still concerned. Ruth was young and deserved more than just food. She needed a husband, a home, and a family of her own. So she urged Ruth to go once again to Boaz, but not to gather wheat as before. This time Ruth went to Boaz with a very special request.

Ruth 3:1-18 (Boaz agrees to marry Ruth)

Read this passage to the kids with feeling. If possible, use slightly different voices for the characters.

Discussion Questions:

1. How did Ruth prepare herself to meet with Boaz? (She washed, put on perfume, and put on her best clothing.)

2. What did Ruth do to let Boaz know she was there? (Uncovered his feet in the middle of the night.)

3. What did Ruth ask Boaz to do because he was a kinsman redeemer? (Cover her with a corner of his garment.)

4. Why was Boaz pleased with Ruth? (She didn't run after young men.)

5. Boaz said he would do what Ruth asked. What did she want? (For Boaz to redeem or marry her.)

6. How did Boaz show that he was a responsible man? (He treated Ruth with respect and agreed to take care of her as a husband.)

7. How can being responsible and doing what is right honor the Lord? (Allow for answers.)

APPLICATION (4 minutes)

Responsibility is not something we are born with. It must be learned and practiced throughout our lives. Being responsible affects our feelings, thoughts and actions. Responsible people do what is right, even when no one is watching. Boaz is a great example of someone who acts responsible. Although Boaz is Ruth's relative, he is not a close relative; therefore, it was not mandatory that he agree to marry Ruth. Yet, Boaz agrees to marry her anyway because it was the right thing to do. Not only was he fond of Ruth, but also he wanted to give her the security she deserved for being faithful to God. Boaz did the right thing by showing respect and compassion towards Ruth and showing his own self-respect by acting in a righteous manner. In fact, in God's eyes, Ruth and Boaz were perfect for each other.

NEXT WEEK

Come back next week to see how a wonderful thing done by Boaz was very much like a wonderful thing done by our Lord and Savior.
