Ruth 3

•	Look over Ruth 3.  What do we learn about Ruth here?  What do we learn about Boaz?
•	In what ways is Ruth a picture of a Christian coming to Christ? In what ways is Boaz a picture of Christ’s response to those who come to him?
•	In what circumstances of life might we need courage to follow Christ?  Think of examples that you have faced.
•	Just as Boaz responded to Ruth’s request with joy (vv.10-11), Christ’s response to someone coming to faith is one of joy (see Luke 15:10).  What difference does knowing that make to your vision of Jesus?  What difference might that make to our evangelism – as individuals and as a church?
•	‘God will honour any prayer that asks to know him in a deeper way.’  What are the risks in such a prayer?  Why is a deeper knowledge of God something we should pray for?
