What if the most honest way to read Scripture is to stop making ourselves the hero and start standing with Ruth in Boaz’s field? We walk through the Book of Ruth from famine to family line, tracing how humble need meets a Redeemer with the resources to finish the job. Ruth’s courage and Boaz’s integrity open a window into the heart of biblical redemption—public, costly, and complete—and point straight to Jesus.
Along the way, we face down our modern “near-redeemers” that promise much but cannot carry us home. We contrast swagger with surrender through four sharp portraits: the tax collector who goes home justified, Paul’s step down from least apostle to foremost sinner, the Canaanite mother who accepts crumbs and finds healing, and the wedding feast where the low seat is the safest place to start. Each moment pulls us from self-promotion toward truth-telling humility, where grace does its deepest work.
