This story is not your typical Hollywood love story where the good-looking guy meets a good-looking girl and fall in love. What we have is an old man, a Moabite widow, and a noisy mother-in-law. And we know nothing about their appearances. But we know a lot about their characters. Naomi risks everything in her family to put Ruth in that position. Ruth is risking her reputation and her future. Boaz is risking his reputation in declaring his desire to marry a Moabite woman. In this story, we see how each character risks everything for the sake of the other person. And they have no idea how things going to turn out. That is chesed. And ultimately, this story is not about Boaz, Ruth or Naomi. This story points to the real love story. This story is about God’s covenant love for his people.
