主以色列的神是当受颂赞的，因祂眷顾祂的百姓，为他们施行救赎。 -路加福音 1:68

一起多次朗读这节经文，然后将其写在黑板上。全班一起朗读后，擦掉一个词，再次朗读。继续擦掉各词，直到可以在没有任何提示的情况下完整背诵经文。

故事与讨论(15分钟)

介绍：

上周我们学习了路得如何在打麦场向波阿斯表示她愿意成为他的妻子。波阿斯显然很高兴路得愿意嫁给他。根据利未记的律法，他是路得的亲属救赎者。他真心希望娶路得为妻，照顾她和她的婆婆。然而，还有另一位更近的亲属救赎者拥有娶路得的合法权利。波阿斯为此事寝食难安。他该怎么办？如果那人愿意娶路得，又该如何？今天我们的故事开始于波阿斯在城门处准备好解决这个问题，让他和路得的婚姻正式成立。

在阅读故事之前，我们需要先查阅一些相关经文以帮助理解情节。

利未记 25:25

你的弟兄若渐渐穷乏，卖了几分地业，他至近的亲属就要作代赎的人，来把弟兄所卖的赎回。

这节经文告诉我们，如果一个人变得贫穷，卖掉了他的财产，他的近亲可以赎回（买回）这些财产，以便将其归还给家族。这位亲属被称为亲属救赎者。拿俄米决定卖掉她丈夫留下的产业。她需要钱，但她也知道这些产业可以被赎回。她希望波阿斯能赎回这些产业。

利未记 25:48-49a

卖了以后，可以将他赎回；无论是他的兄弟，或伯叔、伯叔的儿子、本家的近亲，都可以赎他。

这几节经文告诉我们，不仅财产可以被赎回，一个人（如奴隶）也可以被赎回。亲属救赎者可以买回他们。阅读故事时，请注意“赎回”、“救赎者”和“亲属救赎者”这些词语。

路得记 4:1-17（波阿斯与路得成婚）

带情感地向孩子们朗读这段经文。如果可能，为不同角色使用稍有不同的声音。为增加趣味性，可以带上一只凉鞋作为道具。

讨论问题：

波阿斯为什么要请10位长老在城门处作陪？（作为见证人）
若另一个人说“我愿赎回”时，波阿斯会有什么感受？（可能会失望）
如果那人想赎回土地，他还需要赎回什么？（路得）
那个亲属拒绝赎回土地和路得的理由是什么？（他说这会危及自己的产业，不想让自己的财富流入以利米勒的家族。）
那个亲属通过什么方式表明他放弃了赎回的权利？（脱下鞋）
波阿斯、路得和拿俄米因这场婚姻得到了怎样的祝福？（参见11、12和15节 - 他们会振兴以色列家族，在以法他有名望，在伯利恒闻名，像法勒斯一样建立家庭，拿俄米得到了新的生命并在晚年得到供养。）
耶稣在十字架上为我们所做的事情如何与波阿斯为路得所做的相似？（耶稣通过为我们的罪付出代价来救赎我们。）

应用(4分钟)

神为路得预备了一个奇妙的计划，其中包括一个名叫波阿斯的亲属救赎者。因为他爱她，并且是一位正直的人，他付出了代价，使路得摆脱贫困的生活。这美丽的故事也向我们展示了我们与神的关系。神爱我们。然而，我们都是罪人。由于罪，我们无法与神建立真正的关系。罪的代价是死亡。神派祂的儿子为我们的罪付出代价。祂为我们死在十字架上，使我们得以活着。耶稣是我们的救赎者。

SCRIPTURE READING AND DISCUSSION (15 minutes)

Introduction:

Last week we learned how Ruth went to Boaz on the threshing floor presenting herself as his possible wife. Boaz was obviously pleased that Ruth wanted him as a husband. He was a close relative to Ruth, a kinsman-redeemer according to the Levitical law. He truly wanted Ruth to be his wife and to provide for her and her mother-in-law. But there was someone else who had the legal right to take Ruth as a bride, another closer kinsman-redeemer. Boaz couldn't sleep until he took care of this matter. What could he do? What if the other man wanted Ruth for his own? Our story today begins with Boaz at the city gates with a plan make his marriage to Ruth official once and for all.

Before we read our story, there are a few passages we must look up to help us understand what is going on.

Leviticus 25:25

“If one of your countrymen becomes poor and sells some of his property, his nearest relative is to come and redeem what his countryman has sold."

This verse tells us that if a man became poor and sold some of his property, a close relative could redeem (buy back) the property to return it to the family. This person was known as a kinsman-redeemer. Naomi decided to sell the property once owned by her husband. She needed the money, but she also knew it could be redeemed. She hoped Boaz would redeem it.

Leviticus 25:48-49a

"…they retain the right of redemption after they have sold themselves. One of their relatives may redeem them: An uncle or a cousin or any blood relative in their clan may redeem them."

These verses tell us that not only was a man’s property redeemable, but so was a person who had been given to someone else, such as in slavery. The person could be redeemed, or bought back by a kinsman-redeemer. As we read the story together, listen for the words: redeem, redeemer, and kinsman-redeemer.

Ruth 4:1-17 (Boaz and Ruth are married)

Read this passage to the kids with feeling. If possible, use slightly different voices for the characters. To add interest, bring a sandal to use as a prop during the reading.

Discussion Questions:

1. Why did Boaz want to have 10 of the elders with him at the city gate? (To act as witnesses.)

2. How do you think Boaz felt when the other man first said, "I will redeem it"? (Perhaps disappointed.)

3. If the man wanted to redeem the land, what else would he need to redeem? (Ruth.)

4. What excuse did the other relative give for not redeeming the land and Ruth? (He said it would endanger his own estate. He didn't want to risk giving his wealth to the family of Naomi's husband Elimelech.)

5. What did the other relative do to show he was giving Boaz the right to redeem? (He took off his sandal.)

6. How were Boaz, Ruth and Naomi blessed by the marriage? (See verses 11, 12 and 15 - they would build up the house of Israel, have good standing in Ephrathah, be famous in Bethlehem, have a family like that of Perez, Naomi would have renewed life and be sustained in her old age.)

7. How is what Jesus did for us on the cross like what Boaz did for Ruth? (Jesus redeemed us by paying the price for our sins.)

APPLICATION (2 minutes)

God had a wonderful plan for Ruth. It involved a kinsman-redeemer named Boaz. Because he loved her and he was an honorable man, he paid the price to set Ruth free from a life of poverty. This beautiful story shows us a lot about our own relationship with God. God truly loves us. But we are all sinners. Because of this sin, we cannot have a true relationship with God. The price for our sin is death. But God sent his Son to pay the price for our sin. He died for us on the cross so we could live. Jesus is our Redeemer.
