Ruth 2

•	Why do you think we find it so easy to believe that things or people other than Jesus can satisfy our longing to be loved? 
•	Look at vv.3-18.  In what ways is Boaz’s kindness to Ruth unexpected and lavish?  
•	In what ways is Boaz’s kindness to Ruth a picture of God’s love for his people?  Think of examples in the chapter. 
•	Do you think it’s important for us to know that God loves us?  How can we keep that from becoming self-centred or self-indulgent?
•	How should the knowledge that God loves us in Christ affect our lives?  How should it affect our relationship with God and with others?  How should it affect our attitude towards our jobs – our families – our future plans?
•	What do you think is the most precious gift God gives to his people?  Thank him for that in your groups.
