Ruth, Act 4: Unto Us A Child is Born
December 22, 2019 Speaker: Mike Sciarra Series: Ruth
Topic: Ruth Passage: Ruth 4:1–22
Discussion Questions:
- Read Psalm 49:7–9. How is the impossibility described solved in Jesus Christ who was born of a virgin, lived a perfect life, and died in the place of lost sinners? (1 Peter 1:18–19.)
- Read Romans 3:21–31. How did the death of the Lord Jesus satisfy the law of God? What should be our response?
- In what ways was Ruth’s identity transformed and how does a person redeemed by Jesus have their identity changed? (2 Cor. 5:17)
- How does the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus on the cross give a Christian assurance? How would you counsel a friend who is unsure whether he or she is truly saved?
- What is the importance of the genealogy at the end of Ruth in terms of God’s redemptive plans? Discuss the tension (or balance) in your life as a servant of Jesus between taking action by faith and waiting for Him to carry out what He has planned.
