RUTH 3-4 OUR KINSMAN REDEEMER

Most of us in here this morning have been to a wedding before. I’ve always though that weddings at this time of year were pretty smart. The church is already decorated and you can save yourself a little bit of money by doing it when the halls are decked.

Weddings are a beautiful picture of commitment and devotion. The Bible celebrates weddings between believers and often uses them as an example of our union with Christ. In fact, one of the reasons that God ordained marriage was to be a picture of Christ and the Church.

In a way, there is a redemption of the bride as the groom takes her to be a part of his family.

Today, we are going to look at a couple of practices that reflect this element of redemption as we look at a wedding proposal and a kinsman redeemer.
