Faithful & Fearless: Lesson 3/Day 4 Ruth 4:1-11, 18-22
What’s in a name? Well, letters, of course, but along with the name comes all that that person represents. Think of these names: Elvis Presley, Mother Teresa, Noah, Mr. Rogers, Princess Diana, Hitler.
Just reading that list evoked pictures in your mind and emotions in your heart. You associated the names – even the ones that were less familiar to you – with the event, career, influence, or character traits of that person. Here we are in the account of Ruth and all the key players are named – even the ones who died. One significant person’s name is left out – the closest kinsmen to Ruth - Mr. Almost-but-not-quite, Mr. Close-but-no-cigar, Mr. Coulda-Woulda-Shoulda...the man who shall remain unnamed – Mr. So-and-So. The only names that are mentioned in this account are the names that move the story to the key point. The near misses are left out. Why? Because this story is pointing to the ultimate Name, the Name above all names, the Name that one day every tongue will confess. The Name from whom all blessings flow and the Name to whom the final word of this book points - Jesus, the son of David and the root of Jesse.
