The Gospel Diary

Redemption is never cheap — it requires sacrifice, honor, and witness. At the city gate, Boaz steps forward as redeemer, foreshadowing Christ’s ultimate redemption for us.   📜 Scripture Focus   Ruth 4:1–12:   ☔ “Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there; and behold, the close relative of whom Boaz had spoken came by…” ( Ruth 4:1)    ☔  “Today you are witnesses that I have bought from Naomi all the property of Elimelek, Kilion and Mahlon. I have also acquired Ruth the Moabite… as my wife.” ( Ruth 4:9–10 ) Ruth.4.11 (KJV):  "And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in  Bethlehem:" Ruth.4.12 (NLT):  "And may the LORD give you descendants by this young woman who will be like those of our ancestor Perez, the son of Tamar and Judah."...

🔐Scripture Focus Ruth 3:1–18:  “Wash, put on perfume, and get dressed in your best clothes.

Ruth’s boldness and Boaz’s honor meet here, showing us that breakthrough comes when faith and integrity align.   🪘Hymn from Global Canticle  No. 1 (SEC 10): One With Another Scripture: Psalm 133 • Ephesians 4:3 • Colossians 3:14    Tune: Brother James’ Air • Meter: 8.6.8.6 • Key: D Major    1: Let me see with gentle eyes,   Where my brother’s sorrow lies.   Let me reach before they call,   Lift the weary, catch the fall. 2: Not by duty, nor to shine,   But because Your grace is mine.   Kindness is the song I sing,   Fel...
