The incredible plan has been presented before us.  The other redeemer has passed on the opportunity to redeem Naomi and Ruth.  Boaz has accepted his sandal as a symbol that the other relative has given the right of redemption to Boaz.

We find Boaz at the gate of Bethlehem holding the sandal.  Will Boaz and Ruth live happily ever after?  Are there children in the future?  What is the significance of this story for today? 

Hold that thought as we look at “The rest of the Story.”
