For Further Discussion & Application:

What means has God used to show his kindness throughout the book? Specifically in Chapter 3?

How is God's loving-kindness lived out by Ruth and Boaz in this chapter? Where were the places where they could have chosen self-interest over serving others?

What is Boaz's role as a kinsman-redeemer? How does Christ act as our kinsman-redeemer?

Look back at the word plays from chapter 1- empty and full, bitter and pleasant. How do you see the author continuing these word plays in this chapter? What lessons do you learn from this?

Sunday Lunch Question:

How have you seen God's loving-kindness in your life in the last year? How have you been an agent of God's love to someone else this year?
