Ruth: A Christmas Story: An Advent Series
What does the book of Ruth have to do with Christmas??? This series of messages explores the many parallels between Ruth’s story and the story of Christmas.
The Christmas story has deep roots. It begins in the Old Testament, because the Old Testament points forward to Christ and his coming. Ruth’s story fulfills a vital part of salvation history in preparation for the coming of Jesus. As such, the parallels are not accidental. They are incidental, because the events of Ruth bear directly on the events of Christmas.
The book of Ruth can be read right alongside the Christmas story! Come explore these amazing parallels as we study the book of Ruth together.
