RUTH 2:12 (kjv)
“The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.”
God spoke to Greater Works Ministry with a word - “The Year of The Redeemed”. He said to give Him thanks "for He is good; for His Mercy endureth forever (meaning continues). Let the Redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hands of the enemy." (Psalms 107:1-2)
The book of Ruth depicts Jesus Christ as “The Kinsman Redeemer”. The words "kinsman" and "redeemer" come from the same Hebrew meaning of “redeem” according to the law of kinship, as in the next of kin and as such to buy back a relative’s property. It also means ransom, to release, rescued.
Ransom- the price paid or demanded before a captive is set free.
Redeem- to buy back; to pay off, to make up for; set free or deliverance
Release- to relieve from obligation or debt; to let go
Rescue- to free from confinement or danger; save
Jesus Christ performed (meaning carried out; fulfilled) for us upon the Cross of Calvary - the only kind of a person who could be a redeemer - for He is the God-man who alone can bring God and man together in perfect harmony. The redeemer must be both God and man to be a mediator who can bridge the gulf by dying like a man and rising from the dead as The Eternal God. (WHEW!!!)
